Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Disruptive Discussion

What does a successful business relationship between car manufacturers and African miners look like?

  • The rise of relationships between car manufacturers and miners is increasing to reduce limited security of supply of transition minerals needed to build electric vehicles. But two global businesses have very different operating parameters and business models – how do they align? 
  • Human rights are a top priority for global OEMs – are mining companies doing enough to ensure this is never compromised? 
  • How can African miners educate global businesses on the nuances of operating in Africa? 
  • Sharing success stories – the key to finding alignment between global and local stakeholders
