Analysing the mining industry's evolving approach to corporate responsibility and human rights sheds light on some of the opportunities and challenges for corporations to play a role in promoting climate change justice. A focus on human rights can create tensions with the corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes and policies, which are commonly discursively framed as being voluntary. Corporate efforts to respond to critics by adopting human rights policies will be viewed with scepticism without increased standardisation in reporting, and the success of these initiatives will depend on the quality of a firm's engagement with communities to address local concerns aside from greenhouse gas emissions. Strong state regulation, enforcement and democratic politics must accompany the growing panoply of guidelines, principles, codes of conduct and standards to ensure the promotion of human rights.
