Challenge	IAMGOLD, an international mining company, has been calculating its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions since 2007. The results are used to guide business practices and to report to the CDP, as well as to the Mining Association of Canada’s (MAC) “Towards Sustainable Mining” Protocol. However, the company was facing challenges with its existing method of using spreadsheets for data collection, emission calculation, and analysis and reporting of results for various schemes. The company was seeking a more efficient, transparent, and flexible solution. Additionally, IAMGOLD needed to analyze data associated with different processes present at each mining, exploration, or office location, which proved challenging when using spreadsheets. Read More

Solution	IAMGOLD approached Ecometrica in 2013 for a solution to its challenges. Ecometrica provided its online sustainability reporting platform to IAMGOLD. The platform was used to upload the historical 2011 and 2012 GHG assessments, and the subsequent 2013 and 2014 assessments were performed directly within the software. With all IAMGOLD sites on the same platform, the tool made it simple for the international team to provide data simultaneously, in the language of their choice. The platform also facilitated the instantaneous identification of emission and intensity levels online each month. In addition to GHGs, IAMGOLD was able to track its water consumption by source, as well as its energy consumption and waste generation. The platform’s analytics now allow IAMGOLD to easily compare the emissions associated with different processes across sites. Read More Log in to view content
