The South African mining industry faces the crucial challenge of balancing progress with environmental preservation. Selim Kaymak, CEO of Alpha Resources, emphasizes the need for a multifaceted approach to transform the sector, integrating sustainability into core business strategies. From proper mine rehabilitation to collaboration with waste management companies and local communities, the industry must commit to minimizing its negative impact while maximizing positive economic outcomes. Embracing sustainable practices and innovative technologies will not be easy, but it will position South Africa as a global leader in https://lnkd.in/g4Y4xJ2z

Attending Investing in African Mining Indaba was not only a privilege but also a pivotal moment for our corporate sustainability agenda at AgaBullion. Today's sessions on sustainability, "Tackling sustainability amongst a geopolitically divided world," and "The Just Energy Transition" What does it mean to be just?" provided invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities ahead for our industry. Exploring topics such as Africa's role in the pursuit of "critical minerals," resource nationalism, and the intersection of increased resource demand with sustainability, underscored the need for strategic foresight and collaborative action. By aligning our business objectives with environmental stewardship and responsible resource management, we not only mitigate risks but also unlock new avenues for growth and innovation. Our participation in Investing in African Mining Indaba reaffirmed our commitment to sustainability and our determination to be at the forefront of positive change in the mining sector. Let's leverage the momentum gained from this event to drive tangible impact and create a more sustainable future!

💡 More than 50% of the critical minerals needed for the #green transition are found on or near Indigenous lands.  Yet, Indigenous communities often face the highest burdens while reaping few benefits from mining projects.  At the 2024 OECD Conference on Mining Regions and Cities, 40 Indigenous leaders from 6 countries will come together to present a Call to Action from Indigenous representatives aimed at improving conditions for Indigenous peoples in mining areas.  Topics include: 🔵 Better environmental protections and promoting a circular economy 🔵 Ensuring local communities benefit from mining projects 🔵 Making mining towns better places to live This conference offers a platform to build stronger partnerships between Indigenous communities and the resource sector to promote sustainable futures.  Learn more 🔗 https://oe.cd/5J4

Indigenous consent on critical mineral supply projects - including corporate governance, equity ownership, and environmental protection led and directed by Indigenous nations - are key to the success of critical mineral projects getting approved and built. Experts at the #FNMPC2024 conference will discuss how the free, prior and informed consent (#FPIC) of Indigenous nations is being operationalized along the critical mineral value chain. These discussions will focus on key areas including: - Mining as a Community Development Engine - USAid, Premium Nickel, Government of Botswana - Canadian Mining and First Nations As the world looks to the #mining industry move towards more sustainable practices to achieve #netzero targets, where are you hoping to see a greater inclusion of Indigenous communities in the minerals value chain?

SIRGE Coalition is attending the 17th OECD - OCDE Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains in Paris this month! Join us for the partner-led session: Operationalizing Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) across Transition Mineral Supply Chains on Friday, May 24th from 9am-10:30am. Despite significant global normative progress, the proper implementation of FPIC at mining sites continues to be a challenge. This workshop will introduce new guidance materials on FPIC, including relevant resources for identifying Indigenous Peoples globally and an initial set of commonly asked questions and answers to help investors and purchasers of mined materials strengthen their independent due diligence related to FPIC. Workshop participants will be invited to share their experiences, ask additional questions, and offer examples of leading performance. Speakers include: Galina Angarova, Executive Director of SIRGE Coalition Kate Finn, Executive Director of First Peoples Worldwide Rebecca Burton, Deputy Director of IRMA Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance To RSVP, email Clara Pizarro at cpizarro@responsiblemining.net or scan the QR code. #SIRGECoalition #JustTransition #IndigenousRights #IndigenousPeoples #FreePriorAndInformedConsent #FPIC #UNDRIP #Environment #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateJustice #HumanRights #EnergyTransition #TransitionMinerals
