Critical minerals companies experience many benefits from adopting international standards concerning business continuity.
Business continuity benefits
- identifying and managing threats and risks to the mining organisation
- minimising incidents’ impact by identifying alternative modes of operation and implementing them in advance
- minimising downtime during incidents and improving recovery time
- keeping critical operations up and running during times of crisis
- training mine staff in emergency procedures
- minimising financial consequences of disruption
- creating plans for business continuity and disaster recovery
- establish the organisation’s reputation among industry leaders
- building confidence for stakeholders that the organisation is resilient
- increasing the company’s revenue by using protective controls effectively.
Leaders and board members have failed to understand that business continuity is a business responsibility and an essential plank of corporate governance. The standards are not compulsory and they require considerable time, money and effort to implement, so many decision-makers put them into the too-hard basket.
But the benefits of adopting the standards outweigh the costs.
