Corporate environmentalism in JSE listed gold, platinum and diamond mining companies : environmental leadership importance, business orientation and corporate strategy focus

Abstract

This study examines the importance of corporate environmentalism in the South African JSE listed gold, platinum and diamond mining companies. As this study is representative of 34% of the market capitalisation of the South African JSE listed mining companies, the findings could be extrapolated to the broader mining industry that ascribes to the principles of the JSE Sustainability Reporting Index.
