The panel session on Driving Sustainable Development - Circularity & ESG in Mining at the Invest Africa Mining Series saw panel experts discussing and debating ESG trends specific to Africa’s mining sector, spanning environmental, social and governance considerations. In the realm of ESG matters, the mining industry has shed its long-held label as a contributor to the problem – increasingly seen as a viable source of the solution. A growing body of evidence emphasises ESG’s critical role in ensuring resilience, long-term success, and superior investment returns; companies with robust ESG credentials outperform peers, and the ways in which mining companies position themselves around the energy transition will determine sustainability and competitive advantage in the next decade. Still, a prevailing perception of an inherent trade-off between fostering sustainability and achieving robust business growth persists, often casting ESG-related spending as a cost rather than a strategic investment. These were just some of the issues unpacked by the panel of Bruce Dettling, Mining Broking Leader, Global Broking Centre, Aon (UK), Laura Blanco Toro, Global Head of ESG at Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Ana Hajduka Shields, Founder & CEO of Africa GreenCo, Marie-Chantal Kaninda, President of Glencore DRC, moderated by Ian Massey, Head of Corporate Intelligence, EMEA, S-RM.

🌍 ⛏️📊🌱 Redefining Resources: How ESG Standards are Transforming the Mining Industry The escalating significance of ESG considerations in the mining sector is evident, with recent surveys highlighting ESG as both a top risk and opportunity for the industry. Effective management of these concerns is increasingly guided by comprehensive ESG frameworks which provide critical support in navigating the complex landscape influenced by regulatory demands and societal expectations. Notably, frameworks like the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), and Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) offer essential tools for addressing ESG risks and enhancing sustainable performance. These frameworks not only facilitate standardised reporting and compliance but also bolster transparency and stakeholder trust, thereby contributing to long-term value creation. As the industry strives for greater cross-recognition and consolidation of these standards, the path towards unified and streamlined compliance looks promising. Such efforts are instrumental in ensuring that mining practices are both responsible and profitable, aligning with broader sustainability goals. #esg #sustainablemining #miningindustry #sustainability #corporateresponsibility #environmentalImpact #socialgovernance #greenmining #resourcemanagement https://lnkd.in/dm9mZb8Y
