Cautionary tales

Ensure your site has an effective emergency management plan in place to prevent environmental disasters like the Williamson Diamond Mine, Brumadinho Dam or Jagersfontein catastrophes.

In 2019 the Brumadinho tailings dam failed, releasing millions of tons of toxic waste, resulting in the loss of 272 human lives. This company was forced to pay $7 billion in compensation to cover both the socio-economic and socio-environmental impacts.
