A Full Agenda will be available 31st May 2024

The industry’s ambition is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

 

As we navigate the dynamic landscape of the mining industry, we are constantly reminded of the critical importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations. The evolution of regulatory frameworks and heightened social consciousness necessitates a deeper commitment from organizations to address ESG-related risks transparently and effectively.

​

Stakeholders, including investors, communities, and regulatory bodies, are increasingly seeking detailed insights into how mining companies are not only mitigating risks but also delivering positive impacts on nature and society.

 

The focus extends to strategies for achieving nature-positive outcomes at project sites, decarbonizing operations, and ensuring the protection of human rights throughout the mining lifecycle.

​

It is crucial for mining companies to not just comply with ESG standards but to proactively embrace them as integral parts of their business strategies. This entails robust disclosures of ESG initiatives, transparent reporting mechanisms, and measurable performance indicators to track progress over time. By doing so, companies can build trust, foster stakeholder engagement, and strengthen their environmental reputation.

​

The mining industry's approach to its ESG obligations is not just a regulatory requirement; it is a moral imperative and a strategic opportunity. Embracing ESG principles not only safeguards the environment and communities but also enhances long-term resilience and competitiveness in an increasingly sustainability-focused global market.

 

How we navigate and prioritize ESG considerations will not only define our industry's environmental footprint but also shape its legacy for generations to come. 

​

Join us for an engaging platform bringing together Environment, Climate, and Mining Professionals.

We'll delve into topics such as upcoming Law Reforms, Net Zero Acceleration, Biodiversity Protection ,Mine Rehabilitation, Climate Change, Investor Demands for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, Technological Innovation, and best practices for Mining and Biodiversity, alongside Social obligations.

​

Hear from our distinguished Panellists and Expert Speakers on Thur 22nd August 2024 followed by a networking session after the event until 6.00pm 

Then  join us for a breakfast session to complete the  Conference the next day (Fri 23rd August)  from  7.30am, concluding at 10.30am 

​

Stay tuned for the full agenda, available on 31st May 2024.
