Voconiq’s Post

The #social and #environmental #performance of mining organisations is increasingly being linked to financial performance, a link that has been missing from practice and scientifically under-theorised. Environmental and social performance are no longer icing, but the cake of doing #miningbusiness. Voconiq engagement science has taken centre-stage in this emerging development. #localvoices #sociallicence #communityengagement #investinginmining #sustainablemining

Navigating Australia's Mining Dilemma: Balancing Production with ESG Goals 🌏💼 As highlighted in a recent article by Fastmarkets , Australian mining companies face a critical choice: sustain competitive production levels or prioritise environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. With ESG considerations becoming increasingly important to investors, this decision is more relevant than ever. At PPS, we believe you don't have to choose. Our innovative Vietz machines not only enhance efficiency and reduce labour costs but are also designed with water safety and sustainability in mind, helping you meet your ESG targets without compromising on productivity. https://lnkd.in/gd2Z_qPs #MiningAustralia #AustralianMining

Good piece that shines light on the crux of the matter: the mining sector is largely underweighted for the wrong reasons. We need less investment from institutional investors in ESG funds and more into mining. Where I disagree with Tom Wilson is that even if a BHP/AAL would not increase copper production, it would create scale, and that's essential for investment in physical assets and from a financial relevance point of view for investors. Too many investors and banks just have the wrong or misinformed perception of the sector. Just look at the massive breakthroughs the large miners are delivering across carbon intensity, steel decarbonisation electrification of the fleet, etc.. Natural resources companies and Mining are essential to the net zero solution. #nonmetalsnotransition https://lnkd.in/ebjwJP7Y

Mining firms, especially in Australia, are under pressure to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Digital transformation and sustainability go hand in hand, aiding in #ESG reporting and operational efficiency. A sustainable IT strategy, including robust monitoring, is crucial for reducing carbon footprint and aligning with ESG goals. By integrating IT monitoring technology, mining companies can lead the charge towards a greener future. Let's measure, manage, and make strides towards sustainability.

Green energy transition is threatened by a lack of mining investment. This article provides some good facts and thoughts why mining investment delivers great returns for both your portfolio an the climate - some highlights of the article: ⚒️ "The demand for metals and materials is poised to surpass all prior estimates" ⚒️ "BHP, Rio Tinto, Glencore, Anglo American and Vale have an average price to forward earnings ratio of 8.5 times versus 18.5 for the S&P 500" ⚒️ " Many investors are still wary of the sector because of its inherently cyclical nature and since the industry squandered billions of dollars on ambitious projects [...] during the 2000s. [...] After [...] the sector’s chief executives have focused on discipline." The article might be behind a paywall (FT seems to toggle this)
