Facing The Environmental Turn: The Extractive Industries In Transition

This symposium is an essential meeting point between international researchers and key Malaysian  industry leaders whose sectors of activity have contributed to the environmental problems of our time.The extractive industires are currently under scrutiny around the world. The lever of the new European environmental policy initiates the dialogue between legal,political and economy perspectives. The seminar attempts thus to explore the meeting of Malaysian CSR practises with the new International/European environmental regulations. Are they compatible? 

Will they have to evolve? Or on the contrary, will Malaysian practices adapt to European regulations? How could they inspire European law? Contemporary researches on mining sustainability will be presented and discussed.
