The Blended Capital Group - ESG, Governance, Strategy and Finance Integration Leadership Focused on Impact Delivery
The Blended Capital Group will be well represented at #cop16. Luc Lapointe, John Howchin, Marcin Piersiak and I will be involved in many conversations and panels, focused on how artisanal #mining formalization improves the dignity and productivity of work while catalyzing #sustainabledevelopment, all in ways that enhance #biodiversity. Artisanal mining matters geopolitically, socially, environmentally and economically. 🏹 there is a shortage of #criticalminerals that the sector can bridge. #energysecurity depends on having the minerals that we need for the #energytransition, which makes this highly strategic and geopolitically sensitive 🏹 there are 45 million artisanal miners working in over 80 countries - formalization is game changing on the dignity of work, improving safety, supporting sustainable development, #humanrights adherence - social and economic potential is clear 🏹 land use, #mercury, soil and water contamination and deforestation are all improved when good practices are in place - the bottom line is that biodiversity is improved As an investment marketplace focused on artisanal mining matures, it is clear that the combination of opportunities makes sense for #mininginvestment, #impactinvestment, countries with geopolitical interests and of course for #blendedfinance approaches. The Blended Capital Group and our partners are committed to reimagining outcomes in artisanal mining. The potential is clear, the commercial fit is compelling, the geopolitical implications are obvious. I am really looking forward to COP16. Reach out, let’s discuss.
