  • ASM and Sustainable Development Goal 8

    This edition of the annual State of the Sector Report uses the Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG8): ¡°promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all¡± as the framework for analyzing ASM¡¯s contributions to global development. The report analyzes five focus areas of SDG8 (i) improve occupational health and safety (OHS); (ii) stimulate economic growth; (iii) make production sustainable and eliminate mercury; (iv) ensure gender equality; and (v) eradicate child labor and promote youth employment. Through the five themes, the 2020 State of the Sector Report illustrates these possibilities for enabling the achievement of SDG8 in ASM through 22 practical case studies representing over thirty organizations.
