Rapid transformation continues to shape the global mining and metals sector. This change is being accelerated by a wide range of environmental, technical and geopolitical issues, that include:

• Technological advancements, particularly around automation
• The desire to move towards zero emissions and zero harm
• Growing sector-wide focus on ESG
• The need to move forward on diversity, equity and inclusion
• And demand for products and practices to support the green energy transition.

Achieving greater efficiency and profitability through all of this change brings additional leadership and operational challenges to businesses operating in this sector.

As momentum grows around the green energy transition in mining and metals, there is growing demand for skills and experience at all levels to support this shift. Mining and metals organisations are also increasingly aware of the importance of their own company values in attracting future talent, and shaping company culture.
