“…The utility degree of K − i , K + i in relation to the anti-ideal and ideal solution are calculated by Equations ( 17) and (18), and, in addition, the fuzzy matrix T i value is obtained by Equation (19). It is necessary to use Equation ( 20) to find the maximum t i and D = (1.800, 2.710, 3.588), and then use Equation (21) to defuzzify the number D to obtain the number d f de f = 2.705.…”

“…Due to differences in mine scale, category, area, and other factors, decision makers in mining companies have gaps in the transformation strategies they can choose as a part of the process of pursuing green transformation [21]. Therefore, it is not only technology that drives green transformation but also the planning and selection of development strategies [22].…”

Deciding on an appropriate development strategy is one of the most crucial aspects of the mining industry’s green transition. This research introduces a novel integrated decision support model that can be applied to analyze various environmental factors and determine development strategies. In this study, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is employed from multiple perspectives, including political, economic, social, and technological (PEST), to assess the internal and external factors that influence green mining. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to analyze the factor weights quantitatively, and the fuzzy Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method is used to rank and select development strategies. According to the results, “grasp the trend of green development and improve the protection and exploitation level of mineral resources” is found to be the final optimal strategy. Comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis confirmed the accuracy of the model and the case study results.

“…A literature review showed that the green and climate-smart mining (GCSM) model [122], which includes the circular processing of mineral resources and establishes a link between mining and sustainable development research, is promising [123]. A system of indicators for assessing open-pit mines using the GCSM model was developed and tested, and it was concluded that the integration of a circular approach, green supply chains of minerals, and a green procurement policy into the GCSM model will increase the environmental efficiency of mining and the sustainability of mining companies [124].…”

“…The energy transition as part of the green transformation has dramatically increased the demand for critical minerals and metals to build a low-carbon energy infrastructure, which creates the problem of supply risks [125] and requires the rethinking of value chains and the transition of mining companies to more sustainable circular business models [126]. To identify, assess, and manage the potential risks associated with supplying minerals critical for the green energy concept, a toolkit has been proposed [124] that is a factor in both corporate sustainability and the sustainable development of the low-carbon energy sector.…”

Promoting the concept and principles of sustainable development at the micro level requires that industrial companies understand and improve approaches to managing corporate sustainability. Currently, economics does not provide a universal definition of what corporate sustainability is. With regard to the mining sector, corporate sustainability issues reflecting the viability, value, and sustainable development potential of companies have not yet been studied extensively. The article discusses the conceptual foundations of corporate sustainability; the characteristics and a classification of approaches to defining corporate sustainability; and the relationship between corporate sustainability, sustainable development at the micro level, and circular economy. By analyzing the example of Russia, the influence of the mining industry on the environmental, economic, and social development of both a country with a resource-based economy and individual mining regions is shown from the viewpoint of sustainability. The distinguishing features of mining companies, which include natural capital and mineral assets, are studied in the context of promoting corporate sustainability. It is proven that the effective corporate management of ESG factors results in environmental and social influence that goes in line with sustainable development requirements and serves as a foundation for corporate sustainability. A refined definition of corporate sustainability has been formulated, the specific features of corporate sustainability management in mining companies have been determined, and the specific features of corporate social responsibility have been studied. The issue of integrating circular economy elements into the corporate sustainability concept is discussed, and it is claimed that the inclusion of circular business models in the corporate strategies of mining companies will contribute to their corporate sustainable development and boost their contribution to the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Green mine construction is an essential manifestation of ecological civilization in the mining industry. The green mine construction of China’s sand and gravel industry has five significant progress as follows. First, the standard system for Green Mine Construction in the sand and gravel industry has been established. Second, large-scale and intensive sand and gravel production promotes sand and gravel supply-side reform. Third, the green industrial chain of sand and gravel has been extended. Fourth, a circular economy fosters resource conservation. Fifth, “Mine restoration+” has become a new development trend. On this basis, this article summarizes three development characteristics and proposes five policy recommendations, aiming to provide Chinese cases for promoting green mining construction globally.
