How Consumers are Pushing the Sustainability Agenda Forward in the Mining Industry
The majority of the mining industry has always been removed from its end users. This has led to consumers misunderstanding the value that the sector creates and the role it plays in the overall quality of the life we enjoy.
In this panel, sponsored by Buchanan, our panellists will discuss how a new generation of consumers are pushing the sustainability agenda forward. Topics will include how miners have worked with consumers, how artisanal and small-scale miners are affected, where the discussion about ethical and sustainable mining is likely to go, and how much this discussion is helping remedy misconceptions about the mining industry’s role and value in the world.
Moderator:
Ariadna Peretz, Director at Buchanan and Head of Communications at Women in Mining UK
Speakers:
Charlie Betts, Group Managing Director of Betts Group and Founder of Single Mine Origin
Michillay Brown, Industry Transformation Lead at Tracr (part of De Beers)
Yulia Chekunaeva, Director, Capital Markets at En+ Group
Michèle Brülhart, Executive Director of The Copper Mark
