Climate change is associated with human activities, which contribute to global warming.
In recent years, publishing sustainability reports to account for operational impacts has
become a trend. This can also be observed in the mining sector, which is naturally impact
intensive in its operations. Significant greenhouse gas emissions stem from
energyintensive mining and the processing. This paper makes a contribution to the field
of public corporate discourse in relation to environmental impacts and investigates
“corporate discourse and the outside world” (Jaworska 2020) using annual sustainability reports.
