Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030

The Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030 is a collaborative investor-led initiative seeking to define a vision for a socially and environmentally responsible mining sector overall by 2030, and to develop a consensus about the role of finance in realising this vision. It recognises the mining industry’s important role in society and the transition to a low carbon economy and aims to ensure the sector leaves a positive legacy by addressing key systemic risks holistically.

Session aims:
•   To discuss the role of institutional investors in the mining sector
•   To explore what issues challenge investors in the sector today and what would need to be different were investors to invest, value and steward the sector differently
•   To discuss the investment horizons and if short term investment horizons work against long term investment needed in the sector to meet the highest standards
