The future of mining and metals is focused on embracing digital while optimizing productivity and portfolios.
Disruption is fast reshaping the mining and metals sector’s perception of where the biggest risks and opportunities may lie. The climate crisis, geopolitical issues and rising stakeholder expectations are increasingly significant forces of change. We see more opportunities than risks for miners willing to make the transformational changes needed to drive long-term value. With license to operate increasingly linked to an organization’s ability to access resources, capital and debt, a proactive approach to these challenges is critical. Demand for minerals, materials and metals from clean energy technologies is expected to increase exponentially — and miners will need to overcome several challenges to meet this demand — building agility to manage price volatility, substitution threats and changing demands is key. For a sector in the midst of transformation, increasing the participation of women in mining — and all the proven benefits they bring — is simply too big an opportunity to ignore. Gender diversity is a business imperative for mining and metals companies as they build a strong, sustainable future.
We take a whole-of-value-chain approach to help you to seize the potential of digital to fast-track productivity, balance portfolios and set a clear road map for the new energy future.
