In July 2013 in this column, we flagged Bettercoal as a new supply chain initiative, seeking to make a positive impact on the ethical, social and environmental performance of coal mining. Much has changed since then – both for the initiative and for the context in which we all operate. What has not changed is the need for coal buyers and coal suppliers to identify and manage social and environmental risks in the supply chain.
