Abstract

The municipality of Mogpog in the Philippines was one of the severely hit areas during the 1993 mining disaster in the province of Marinduque. After three (3) decades, the aftermath of the disaster still lingers in the municipality and even in the whole province. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between the social demographics of the residents of Mogpog and their knowledge about heavy metal (HM) pollution and its associated health risks. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the 314 residents of Mogpog. Six (6) social demographics were considered, such as age, sex, marital status, highest education attainment, monthly household income, and whether the respondents were government employees or not. Results of the binomial logistic regression analysis showed that the social demographics affecting the respondents’ knowledge about HM pollution were marital status and monthly household income (significant at the 0.05 level). Married individuals may have larger and more diverse social networks, which could expose them to a wider range of information, including environmental issues. On the other hand, those with lower incomes may have limited access to formal education or information resources, which could result in lower environmental awareness. The results underscore the need for specific interventions and educational initiatives to enhance the understanding of the adverse health impacts associated with HM pollution among residents in Mogpog

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian mining companies incorporate climate action within their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies, with a particular focus on their contributions to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. Using qualitative content analysis of ten publicly available CSR and sustainability reports, the study identifies recurring themes in corporate disclosures, including operational activities, environmental performance data, target-setting, and collaborative initiatives. The findings reveal both progress and gaps in aligning mining practices with national and international climate objectives. Four thematic areas emerge, including (1) operational decarbonization efforts that increasingly combine low-carbon technologies with nature-based solutions (NbS), although their effectiveness is rarely assessed through standardized indicators; (2) responsibility framing and measurable targets that show greater alignment with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions, yet governance and assurance mechanisms remain underdeveloped, raising concerns of potential greenwashing; (3) while disclosure of environmental data has improved, comparability across firms is constrained by inconsistent adoption of metrics and limited integration of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); and (4) climate-related risks are widely acknowledged, with firms outlining resilience strategies and engaging in multi-stakeholder partnerships to enhance adaptive capacity. Overall, Indonesian mining companies demonstrate a growing recognition of their role in climate action. However, advancing their contribution to SDG 13 requires systematic evaluation of NbS, stronger ESG governance and accountability, broader institutionalization of LCA, and deeper stakeholder engagement. These improvements are essential to ensure CSR initiatives deliver substantive, measurable, and socially inclusive climate outcomes.
