Mining & Resources
How can miners, oil and gas companies, and other players in the resources sector remain competitive in a responsible way?
The mining and resources sector remains a cornerstone of global economies, yet its operations often spark debates about environmental, social, and ethical impacts. Progressive resources companies want to develop and deliver their product to customers in a way that is sustainable and ethical, working with their people, communities and other stakeholders. Investors want to understand the impact resources companies have on Indigenous and other communities when measuring ESG performance. Resources leaders know that focusing on people and outcomes beyond profit builds resilience to operational and reputational risks.
We work with companies across the sector to navigate these complexities. We help build and embed strong stakeholder management processes, including open and trusted communication with shareholders, regulators, and communities. Our expertise supports resource companies to foster meaningful engagements, while providing insights into regulation and workforce transitions as industries move toward net zero.
