A chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of Corporate Social Responsibility, 2021, pp 1105-1130 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers the mineral resources of the planet and their present and future availability. It states that they are finite in quantity and once extracted are not available for future use. So all that is available for the future is what remains plus what can be recycled and reused. Sustainability of course depends upon the availability of these minerals – or acceptable substitutes. Thus actions in the present determine future possibilities in a significant way which is not yet being realized, and this chapter considers the implications.
