WIM UK at Resourcing Tomorrow

Join WIM UK at the Business Design Centre London for Resourcing Tomorrow: Accelerating the Energy Transition.

This year’s spotlight is on breaking out of the echo chamber, urging miners to lead the charge in the global energy transition. From decarbonisation to industry hurdles, it’s time for bold action and collaboration. By forging new partnerships with OEMs, energy giants, and governments, the mining sector can spearhead innovative solutions. As we unveil our agenda amidst transformative times, we invite industry leaders to redefine mining’s narrative and embrace the future.

Please stop by the Women in Mining UK booth and meet all the WIM100’s in town.

Women in Mining UK is proud to partner with Resourcing Tomorrow in supporting the NextGen Leaders Program, an initiative designed to inspire and shape the future workforce of the mining and resources sector.

Dr Stacy Hope, Managing Director of WIM UK will be contributing to the panel discussion session, 2.30-3.30pm:

‘Can green, impact and ESG funds plug the gap?’

Investors have left the mining sector. Commodities represent about 2 per cent of total assets under management today, down from almost 9 per cent in 2009, according to an analysis of more than 350 funds by Switzerland-based Pala Investments.

The mining industry is undergoing a transformation. Investors with a focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are demanding more sustainable practices. This session will explore what “green, impact and ESG funds” are looking for when considering investments in mining companies, and how miners can adapt to meet these growing expectations.

Key points discussed in this session include:

• Delving into the specific ESG factors that funds consider critical for responsible mining operations
  • Determining best practices that mining companies can implement to improve their ESG performance and environmental impact
  • How can mining companies effectively communicate their ESG commitments to attract investment from green and impact funds?
  • What future trends can we expect to see in impact investing and how can the mining industry position themselves?
