KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There has been a dramatic shift in the power structure within the mining sector. The word ahead is far more diverse and inclusive, and allows for more talent to shine through.


• Creating true shared value for all stakeholders happens when a company is profitable and sustainable, and led by people who care about the future as well as the present.


• The only way that the mining sector can move into the world of tomorrow, is if we have leaders who embrace the new and allow thought to prevail over tradition.


• Delivering true economic value is the same as nurturing a tree. We must plant in fertile soil and ensure a steady flow of nutrients.
