Organised in collaboration with eARThumanities.
ESGs (environmental, social, and governance principles) are intended to help relate investing and capital formation to sustainable business activities, and by doing so attract capital to business activities that will help fight climate change. Latin America and Asia have emerged as important sources of minerals that are indispensable for the green transition and decarbonization. But mining operations present significant issues relating to biodiversity, ecosystem preservation—and the rights of indigenous and other communities dependent on those ecosystems. This combination presents the ultimate ESG challenge. This webinar will unpack the latest trends in ESG before bringing critical minerals into the conversation. It will then ask: what does it mean for businesses that rely on critical minerals, such as rare Earth, Lithium and Cobalt, to adopt ESG practices and standards?
