CSDDD
Risk-based prioritisation across tiers.
Identify and mitigate adverse impacts at tier-N supplier sites, including tailings stability, water harm, and community disruption near concessions.
Industry · Mining & Metals
Mining sites are physically legible from orbit.
Tailings dams move. Air quality changes. Water bodies shift. Forests retreat. The signals are there — we make them defensible for CSDDD, CSRD, CBAM, and EUDR.
01 — What regulation requires
Four regulations apply to your mining supply chain.
CSRD
Site-level environmental disclosure.
Annual disclosure under ESRS E1–E5 requires verifiable site-level data. Satellite-derived indicators are acceptable evidence when methodology is documented.
CBAM
Embedded emissions per shipment.
From 2026, importers of iron, steel, and aluminium declare embedded emissions per consignment. Site-level emissions data is required for accurate calculation.
EUDR
Where mining co-occurs with extraction.
Where mining concessions overlap with rubber, timber, or palm extraction, plot-level deforestation evidence applies to the co-located commodities.
02 — Domains applied
The physical domains that matter for mining.
Ground stability
Sub-centimetre displacement on tailings dam crests, pit walls, and waste-rock storage.
Water & soil
Tailings runoff, downstream river turbidity, and groundwater impact via soil moisture proxies.
Air quality
PM proxies near operations, NO₂ in diesel-heavy areas, SO₂ near smelters.
Thermal risk
Stockpile hot-spots, flaring at gold roasting, smelter activity intensity.
Carbon
Site-level emissions from heat signatures, flaring, and activity intensity.
Human rights proxies
Settlement change near expanding concessions, activity disruption patterns.
The remaining domains can be activated at any time as your sourcing or operations evolve.
03 — Relevant evidence
Cases in the satellite record.
Begin with a mining site
Pick a tailings facility. Thirty days.
We rebuild a satellite-evidence timeline for a single site of your choosing. You see the methodology, the limitations, the output. No commitment beyond the assessment.
