SOCIETIES
Environmental Society
The CIM Environmental Society was founded in 1998 to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and skills in technical and environmental areas between professionals in the mining, metallurgical, petroleum and coal industries. A major revitalization effort got underway in 2004 and 2005 with a new executive. The society aims to provide value to its members by promoting effective use of science and technology in meeting industries' and communities' environmental goals.
The new executive has developed a new mission, vision and a set of strategic goals for the society to reflect the current needs of the mining industry.
Mission
To build and sustain a strong society that provides value to its members in alignment with the CIM's vision.
Vision
To provide leadership in knowledge sharing and professional development for a broad range of environmental fields, and in the development of environmental practices and standards.
Strategic goals (2004-2009)
- organize environmental symposia coinciding with the CIM annual general meetings and other environmental meetings of interest;
- organize workshops, short courses and panel discussions;
- establish awards recognizing the contributions of the society members;
- increase the society's membership base to levels that adequately reflect the numbers of environmental professionals in mining, metallurgy, petroleum industries and related organizations;
- define research priorities based on the needs of industry, regulatory agencies and public;
- advance understanding of the environmental issues through interdisciplinary scientific research and development.
