Mining companies are at the forefront of driving positive global change, embracing ‘positively disruptive’ technologies, strategies and models which can radically alter the way in which we approach the future and respond to its challenges. Learn how miners can make a positive difference to global sustainability challenges by welcoming disruptive strategies. From climate-linked finance to ‘stewardship certification’ the session will explore how miners and project stakeholders are using sustainability-linked strategies to improve host communities, develop responsible supply chain collaboration and ultimately influence the choices consumers make for high value purchases.
