Analysis shows how corruption drives human rights and en­vi­ron­men­tal harm in mining

A new report by the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre highlights how corruption in the mining sector contributes to severe environmental damage and human rights abuses. It reveals that corrupt practices often allow companies to bypass regulations, silence opposition, and avoid accountability for harm caused to communities and ecosystems. The report calls for stronger transparency, regulatory enforcement, and corporate due diligence to address the systemic risks posed by corruption in mining.
