Leaders in Mining & Metals are adapting as their operating environments change. Today, they must equally serve as engineer, strategist, and diplomat. They must oversee value chains that have become much more dynamic and complex, manage stakeholders ranging from governments to traditional owners to environmental groups, and operate before a global media network that scrutinizes a company’s social license to operate.
Mining and metals production is critical to the global energy transition going forward. With an increasing need for the production of “green metals”, the industry is poised between growing to provide the resources we need to reduce the impact of fossil fuels and simultaneously transforming to ensure their own environmental impact doesn’t outweigh the gains.
To add to these challenges, the need to innovate, automate, digitize, and embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals is paramount. To thrive in the long term, Mining & Metals leaders will need to become ever more creative and sophisticated in how they structure their organizations, focus on the culture, collaborate externally, and interact with stakeholders and communities.
