Lithium mining companies operating or developing in Europe have stronger gender diversity at the board level than other regions. “Balance in boards responsible for major decision-making at companies is not only essential from a Diversity and Inclusion perspective, but reports demonstrate how diverse boards ultimately have a positive impact on company performance,” Sarah Colbourn, Acting Head of Sustainability at Benchmark, said. “Gender diversity at board level sets the tone for the business more broadly.” Benchmark explores further on the link below: #InternationalWomensDay

No Sustainable development without involvement of women. In the mining sector the gender trend is changing and awareness of women involvement in the mining sector is progressively raising though the journey is still long, https://lnkd.in/dSkPB6Uk

I really can’t wait to join in the celebrations for the 2024 International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM) and moderate a panel on “Breaking Ground in Belonging”. Today “belonging” is one of the biggest buzzwords - and we now know it is the highest predictor of employee engagement, job satisfaction and motivation for talent. Forcing employees to change behaviours that misalign with their authentic selves is one way for companies to see increased absenteeism, turnover, poor attraction, and ultimately less productivity. An authentic culture of belonging in the workplace matters because it impacts business performance and employee well-being. Belonging is vital for bringing out the best of everyone at work. So as the market for top talent continues to tighten in the mining industry, more and more leaders have asked whether they’ve done everything they can to help foster a culture where all employees, including those from diverse backgrounds, feel a sense of belonging. Please join us at IWiM as we share insights and seek to delve into this critical topic

Breaking down the myths about the mining industry…. It is a great time to be a part of it!! This statement says a lot about how I feel as well, she summed it up perfectly! “My message is that now more than ever is the time to belong to the mining industry. Our presence is crucial because we’re transforming this industry and bringing it closer to society. We can create an industry that attracts a new generation of young talent, both women and men, offering them a place where they can develop and feel proud to belong. Because the future of the mining industry doesn’t just depend on resources, it also depends on people. I am mining and I belong.” #WeAreWeir #IBelong #Mining #Careers

Each year on June 15th we celebrate International Women in Mining Day, recognizing the trail blazers, both women and men, who have laid the path for inclusivity and empowerment in mining throughout the world.   The 2024 theme is, “I am Mining and I Belong”. As the mining sector continues to evolve, this phrase serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse individuals who contribute to it and the importance of creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. At Procon this theme goes further, as it underscores the importance of culture and inclusivity that is fostered day in and out throughout the company. As per Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) women make up 7.9% of the Canadian underground mining workforce (2024). Procon is a proud employer of women at our project sites and offices across Canada. We are committed to the role we play in transforming the working environment and culture in underground mining respecting safety, physical and psychological, while promoting equity, diversity and inclusivity. #IDWIM #Procon #WomenInMining

Today, the Timmins Chamber and the CIM Porcupine Branch launched Women in Mining Timmins, an organization that will strive to empower, support, and advocate for women in the mining industry. Timmins’ MPP and Minister of Mines, George Pirie, pointed out that women make up just 14% of the mining industry workforce. There is an opportunity to grow that number and advocate for best policies and practices that support women in mining, including women who work in affiliated industries. “Being able to mentor each other and better the experience in mining for the next generation of women coming into the industry is invaluable. You are taking the opportunity to change the narrative and decide how the future will be written for mining.” ~ Mayor Michelle Boileau. Membership is open to women and allies who support inclusivity in mining.

NEWS! 🗞️ The DRC Mining Week 2024 provided a platform for influential female experts to share experiences, motivate, and inspire! The high tea forum hosted by USAID and Women IN shed light on the achievements and challenges faced by women in the mining sector. The panel, consisting of prominent figures, discussed reducing gender discrimination and advancing gender equity in the DRC’s mining sector. Despite the progress made, there is still a need for comprehensive policies that support women in all roles, from workers to mine owners, to ensure gender equity in the mining sector. The percentage of women in mining has increased to about 12% in 2024, reflecting a positive trend, but leadership in policymaking is still minimal. Efforts to increase female representation in the industry have shown progress, with initiatives leading to an increase in female representation from 4% in 2021 to 7% in 2024 at Kamoa Copper SA. However, achieving gender equity requires ongoing commitment from both industry and government to create a culture that supports women in mining.
