The report offers comprehensive coverage of the evolving ESG landscape in the upstream rare earths supply chain, forecasted trends and our Benchmark Global LCAs, which measure the environmental impact of producing both mined rare earths and refined rare earths.
To keep subscribers up to date, the report contains individual assessments of all rare earths miners and refiners, with indicators measuring ESG performance alongside index ratings allocated based on our Benchmark’s Sustainability Index Methodology. Utilising data collected through Benchmark’s independent research and analysis, this report provides detailed and expert ESG assessment and monitoring of the rare earths industry.
The Benchmark Sustainability Index is a composite index that benchmarks rare earths companies based on their degree of ESG transparency and performance. All rare earths companies have been included in this Index and scored on 87 indicators highlighting the most pressing topics of concern. Separate Environment, Social and Governance scores are calculated, along with an overarching composite ESG score, for each company in the upstream rare earths supply chain. Companies are classified into four categories based on their performance: "Industry Leading", "Good Practice", "Moderate Visibility" and "Limited Visibility".
