    The transition to a net zero economy, and the production of new technologies, electric vehicles, and infrastructure will create unprecedented demand for critical minerals from the global mining sector. Large scale mining projects have consistently been shown to contribute to environmental, social, and human rights issues, and the scale of production required to meet the projected industry demand will amplify these challenges. This session will explore the unique role and opportunities for investors to promote innovation, sustainability, safety, and equity in the mining sector.

    Indigenous reconciliation has entered the mainstream business dialogue, signalling a historic and transformational opportunity for the relationship between capital markets and Indigenous peoples.

This panel will provide asset owners with a road map to action, from the foundational principles of Indigenous reconciliation to the new benchmarks for corporate practices and disclosures and opportunities for collaboration between Indigenous and allied investors.
