Sustainability runs on proof now, not declarations
Speeki independently verifies your sustainability performance, from emissions and biodiversity to your supply chain and sustainability reporting – providing evidence that holds up with regulators, investors and communities.
Where sustainability risk sits in extractives
Few industries carry sustainability exposure as heavy or as visible. In this sector, it concentrates in four areas in particular.
Emissions across the full value chain
Extraction, processing and energy-intensive operations put a large, hard-to-abate footprint across your own sites and your Scope 3 value chain — and self-reported numbers no longer satisfy the people asking for them.
Land, water and waste impact
Tailings, acid drainage, heavy-metal contamination and water use are among the most serious environmental risks in any industry — operational harm that regulators and communities increasingly expect you to evidence, not just assert.
Biodiversity and habitat impact
Land clearing, habitat loss and the restoration you commit to are now judged closely — and increasingly have to be backed with verified data, not assertion.
Your minerals supply chain
The human-rights, sourcing and environmental practices of the suppliers you don't own still land at your door — and now have to be backed with evidence, not taken on trust.
No one takes your word for it anymore
Self-declared data is no longer enough. Here's the pressure you're already under.
Regulators are converging on the same demand
Major markets are all moving the same way, requiring measured and increasingly verified sustainability data. Among them: mandatory ISSB-aligned climate reporting in Australia, Canada and Brazil; GRI 14, the new global reporting standard built specifically for mining, live since 2026; and CSRD reaching you through Europe.
Investors and lenders price what they can check
Access to capital, project finance and your social licence to operate increasingly depend on verified sustainability data, and a self-declared number no longer clears the bar.
Your biodiversity and nature claims have to hold
Restoration, rehabilitation and habitat commitments are now central to how this sector is judged, and each draws scrutiny the moment it can't be backed with evidence.
Weak proof has a cost
Delayed permits, blocked financing and disclosures that don't survive scrutiny all trace back to sustainability data no independent party will stand behind — and in this sector, a lost permit can stop a project for years.
Four ways Speeki turns your data into proof
Emissions data verification
Speeki Carbon Lens® independently verifies your GHG data against ISO 14064, covering the Scope 1 to 3 emissions that make up all of your footprint — so you report verified numbers, not estimates that get challenged.
Learn moreBiodiversity verification
Habitat impact, restoration and rehabilitation claims are now central to how this sector is judged. Speeki Bio Lens™ verifies your biodiversity data and systems against ISO 17298, so what you disclose under GRI 14 and nature-related frameworks stands up.
Learn moreSupplier and supply-chain audits
Your liability doesn't stop at the mine gate. Speeki audits the suppliers and sourcing partners across your minerals supply chain on environment, human rights and safety, so your disclosures hold up and commitments aren't just on paper.
Learn moreSustainability report assurance
Get independent limited or reasonable assurance of your sustainability report against ISSB, CSRD and ESRS, the GRI 14 mining standard, TCFD and TNFD with Speeki Guardian® — so what you publish survives scrutiny from investors, regulators and communities.
Learn moreVerification you can turn into an advantage
Faster permitting and approvals
With evidence ready before regulators and communities ask, you answer scrutiny in days — keeping projects moving while competitors are still gathering data.
Protect your social licence to operate
Communities and regulators increasingly screen out operators who can't prove their environmental and social impact — verification becomes your licence to keep working.
Defend your nature and restoration claims
Independently verified biodiversity data stands up when a regulator, investor or community challenges your rehabilitation and habitat claims.
Raise capital on better terms
Lenders and investors price sustainability risk into project finance; assured data can lower your cost of capital and unlock sustainability-linked funding.
Keep your supply chain compliant
Verified supplier data means your disclosures hold up when a regulator or customer tests them, instead of resting on commitments no one has checked.
Turn compliance into a sales asset
The verified numbers you build for regulators become the proof you put in front of investors and offtake partners — one investment, two returns.
