Panel - From intent to impact: How to activate the journey towards sustainable mining of the future

As the mining sector looks to adapt to global volatility and changes in the operating environment such as ESG and decarbonisation, digitisation and the build-up of workplace trust and culture, there is recognition that mining companies need to transform their way of working.
