This week Exvisu is happy to be participating in PDAC ‘09, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s annual International convention being held at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. One of our main areas of focus at Exvisu is to help companies to integrate the vast online discussions to help make their operations more sustainable and more socially responsible. We believe – and can produce the data to demonstrate – that a key starting point for sustainable development is to learn as much as possible about the preoccupations of real people – whether they’re in a company’s local community, traditional stakeholders, or financial analysts from the other side of the globe.
PDAC has made a big commitment to sustainability in exploration activities with its e3 Plus Framework for Responsible Exploration, which is being launched this week. Exvisu was invited to contribute an analysis of the discussion on the blogosphere about mining exploration activities, and our report is featured prominently at the convention – a summary brochure is included in all of the delegate bags and the final report is available for download immediately. Go to our PDAC page to download a PDF presentation of our findings.
