Summary
This event will serve as a platform for mining companies, industry associations, and investors interested in the industry to engage in meaningful dialogue. Sustainable1 will be showcasing some of the metrics and solutions it provides to measure responsible and sustainable mining.
Throughout this roundtable we’ll include case studies that aim to show how to quantify climate and nature-related risks and further mitigate and meet imminent regulatory requirements (i.e. ISSB).
Join us for breakfast and a conversation with industry peers exploring the evolving landscape of nonfinancial reporting, the importance of sustainability metrics for long-term decision-making, and what the market currently discloses compared to what regulation will require.
