Two major resource companies made two very different announcements recently, both on the theme of addressing climate change.

The mining giant says its most inclusive and diverse teams have 67% fewer recordable injuries, 28% lower unplanned absence rates and up to 11% higher planned and scheduled work delivery.

Moscow claims to a host of resources are based on shaky grounds at best, consultancy Verisk Maplecroft says.

The $20.6-billion oil sands project, 110 km north of Fort McMurray, Alta., is still pending approval from the federal government.
