Mining & Metals

The Mining & Metals industry fuels global progress, supplying the critical minerals essential for infrastructure, technology, and the energy transition.

Yet, the industry faces multiple constraints: depletion of deposits, scarcity of resources, regulatory pressures, social expectations, geopolitical instability, etc.

Only companies with a thorough understanding of their impacts and dependencies will be able to secure their licence-to-operate, transform their practices and improve their access to capital.
