2027 Agenda

Every mining leader has a growth strategy. Do they also have a legacy strategy? Will the industry's future leaders be judged as much by their exit strategy as their growth strategy? Mining companies devote years to planning for discovery, development and production. Few give the same attention to what success should look like decades later. From environmental stewardship and land rehabilitation to economic diversification and community resilience, how can mining’s leaders balance the demands of growth today with the responsibility of creating lasting value tomorrow?

Leadership Imperatives:

• Should sustainability targets extend beyond the life of the mine itself?
• Is an exit strategy as strong as a growth strategy?
• How will future generations judge today's decisions?
