Evaluate business conduct in the mining sector using the three ethical principles of the Global Business Standards CodexIntroductionThe main purpose of any industry today is to pay attention to the multiple opportunities for improvement that exist. The mining industry's links to its primary resources multiply with its functions, while in other industries there are layers of processes between the primary resources and the final product (McKay, 2009). As currently described by Carroll & Buchholtz (2014), the ethics related to sustainable mining were founded around 2 key concepts corporate social responsibility (CSR) and transparency.

Companies are deploying more resources and personnel to ensure that the benefits of mining development reach communities in the form of improved education, infrastructure and services (Hsieh, 2006).

Companies are deploying more resources and personnel to ensure that the benefits of mining development reach communities in the form of improved education, infrastructure and services (Reichert et.al, 2000). What is most important here is that companies must function fairly and ethically by using labor resources and collaborate with international organizations, researchers and policymakers to improve employee convenience and fairness and thus reduce labor exploitation. Therefore, the primary objective of a global economy must be development rather than simply the pursuit of economic growth, and justice strong enough to address the complex issue of mining labor exploitation must be incorporated...
