Investor panel: ESG risks and opportunities for mining companies and investors

  • Environmental, social and governance best practices are no longer niche – how can mining turn a corner to attract new sources of capital and co investment from ESG mandated funds?
  • How could a global pandemic and financial markets fall out change corporate and investor mindsets towards ESG? Will it be lower on the list than delivering shareholder value?
  • How can miners justify their position in a portfolio: clearer social purpose; human rights due diligence; provenance; minimising environmental impacts
  • Where do ESG indices and funds get the data they base their investment decisions on? Issues with multiplication of standards
  • Could ESG risk become commoditised and how can industry safeguard against that?
  • How can mining better communicate it’s societal benefits? Is the promise of decarbonisation and a tremendous infrastructure rebuild the story mining should latch onto?
