2026 Agenda Sessions

WHAT IF partnerships could finally deliver a global standard CEOs truly trust?

This session pressure tests the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative (CMSI) – led by four partners: the Copper Mark, ICMM, the Mining Association of Canada and the World Gold Council – as it combines their existing standards into a single framework with an assurance process and claims policy shaped by two rounds of public consultation. We’ll examine what this could mean for board level risk, audit burden, market access and cost of capital, and how its governance model formalises balanced oversight from mine site to value chain. Senior voices from industry, civil society and downstream will debate pragmatic adoption pathways in Africa and beyond – including how alignment on claims and site level implementation can unlock permitting confidence, offtake optionality and investor trust. 

Wednesday 11 February 10:40 - 11:40 Table Mountain Stage (CTICC1 - Ground Floor - Exhibition Hall)
