Information
The acquisition of Blueprint is in line with RPM’s strategy to grow its mining-focused ESG division to address an increasing demand from the mining industry for ESG related services and technology solutions.
Blueprint has experience across many disciplines, including environmental science and geoscience, risk management, impact assessment, due diligence, governance, social license to operate and geographic information systems.
The highly respected and established team of environmental specialists have deep domain knowledge and longstanding client relationships, particularly with metals clients in Western Australia (WA), thereby complementing RPMGlobal’s existing ESG business.
In recent months, RPM has grown significantly following the establishment of a dedicated ESG mining division, spurred on by the acquisition of ESG services company Nitro Solutions at the beginning of July 2021.
RPMGlobal Chief Executive Officer Richard Mathews said the acquisition of Blueprint provided the company with both increased capability and proven experience to deliver specialised ESG services to mining clients, particularly in the WA market.
“We are focused on driving sustainable outcomes for our customers and it’s clear that Blueprint shares the same ethos,” he said.
“It is a very exciting time for everyone at RPM and we are looking forward to welcoming Blueprint to the team as we enter the next phase of our ESG growth strategy.”
Privately owned Blueprint was founded in 2017, working closely with mining organisations to provide independent, timely and quality-focused ESG services. The breadth of Blueprints’ services offering is large, encompassing all phases of the mining lifecycle from feasibility, funding and approvals through to development and operations, all the way to asset closure and rehabilitation.
