The aim of this publication is to document and feature the best practices on sustainable minerals development as a set of inspiration. It is the ASEAN minerals sector cooperation first attempt - the first in many - to make these best practices available to inspire innovations and spur good practice. Through this publication, real world examples within the region are offered to the mining and minerals industry and to its public, to show how sustainability can be pursued in minerals development and to demonstrate that the development of our mineral resources does not necessarily involve trading-off development with sustainability.
