WORKING WITH OTHERS
to drive best practice
We work with other Standards and initiatives to ensure that the Bettercoal Code meets the very latest expectations of international responsible coal mining practices. With some organisations, we work towards a formal ‘recognition’ of our Standard - as we have done with ResponsibleSteel. With all the organisations listed below, we maintain a regular and close dialogue to support the development of our practices, processes and procedures - across our Standard and our Assurance and Continuous Improvement Plan frameworks.
