Mining for a sustainable world

Mining is crucial to the global energy transition. As the world moves towards net-zero emissions, we will see an extraordinary increase in the demand for electric vehicles and renewable power generation capacity. Similarly, demand for the key minerals needed for the green transition – copper, lithium, nickel cobalt and rare-earth minerals – will grow significantly in the next two decades. The industry has an obligation to look to the future in a sustainable manner.
