  • Bettercoal: Tackling sustainability issues in coal purchasing

    RWE
    Marga Edens, RWE

    The energy transition has many facets. Not only is the structure of electricity generation shifting, but the procurement of fossil fuels is changing as well. In ever more places in the world, natural gas and coal are now being traded on commodity markets, somehow comparable to petroleum. It has not always been this way, especially with coal, which was previously obtained mainly from domestic mines. But this is changing now. In Germany for example, 2018 will mark the end of domestic extraction. Germany is already supplying a huge amount of its demand forcoal from other continents. This leads to new challenges with regard to sustainability issues. The markets have become a great deal more liquid. Most of the coal on offer comes from mines in South Africa, Colombia, and Russia; their geological features allow coal to be extracted at significantly lower costs than in Western- European countries like Germany. However, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the conditions under which such mining takes place and allegations have been made that the mining in thesecountries has an negative impact on workers, the local people and the environment. Many of these countries do not have the detailed environmental impact assessments, socially acceptable resettlements, and rules for workers’ representation in decision-making that we take for granted in OECD-countries. Often the statements issued by mining companies contradict reports from environmental associations, human rights organizations, and trade unions.  more[...]

    Companies depend on services provided by nature, such as fresh water, clean air, healthy biodiversity, and productive land, and their impact on the environment stretches far beyond what goes in and out of a production site. However, the total environmental cost of doing business is not fully accounted for in today’s financial disclosures. Novo Nordisk has looked beyond its own business operations to track the true cost of its environmental impacts.  more[...]
