Key value driver trees (see example below) were defined for the following S&SD value drivers: Energy (cost and security) Greenhouse Gas Emissions (cost) Water (cost and availability) Waste and land stewardship (cost and closure liability) Safety and health (cost and production downtime) Environmental impacts including climate change (cost and production downtime) Our Approach ERM facilitated a workshop with Safety and Sustainable Development (S&SD) representatives to select the value drivers that would have the largest impact on operating profit. Value driver trees were then developed for each of the areas, as well as a series of self-assessment questions to determine the maturity of a site’s management approach to each key value driver. ERM then provided assistance to the S&SD Integration team during an Operational Review in order to pilot the value driver trees. Benefits and Value S&SD was integrated into the existing Operational Review process. This will reduce the costs and improve business results as teams will be co-staffed with S&SD, Mining, Processing and Engineering experts who work together to determine the value at stake rather than separate teams working in silos. During the pilot Operational Review, the S&SD value drivers identified operating profit could be enhanced by up to 10% by reducing double handling of waste and absenteeism. In addition the future carbon liability of circa 5% of operating profit could be reduced via a number of measures. Share this page: How can we help? How can we help you?
