Resourcing Tomorrow | Mines & Money 2024
SLR is proud to be the Networking Lounge Sponsor at Resourcing Tomorrow, Europe's largest mining event.
This year, Resourcing Tomorrow’s key topic is ‘breaking out of the echo chamber’, which it states the mining industry must do to drive the energy transition, achieve decarbonisation targets, reduce the time taken from exploration to production, advance processes with new technologies, and address the skill shortages in the industry.
Make sure to stop by SLR’s booth, #D02, to say hello to our knowledgeable team and learn how we can support you on your next project.
In addition, one of our Senior Mining ESG Consultants, Ben Lepley, will be the moderating a keynote discussion on vertical integration of the mining industry – more details below.
Keynote Panel: Should the mining industry be vertically integrating more? Fostering resilient and responsible collaboration between mining companies and the midstream and downstream to build resilient critical mineral supply chains
03 November, 11:20 AM, Resourcing Tomorrow Theatre 1
‘The energy transition is not a mining story but a materials one, where minerals meet the chemical industry.’
Collaboration between mining companies (upstream), midstream (processing and refining), and downstream (manufacturing and distribution) stakeholders is crucial for building resilient supply chains in the mining industry. Can mining supply chains be developed that offer a competitive alternative to China without compromising sustainable practices?
Key points discussed in this session include:
• Identifying opportunities for efficiency improvements, cost reductions, and waste minimisation across the supply chain to enhance competitiveness and resilience.
• Promoting responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility throughout the supply chain to foster collaboration on sustainability initiatives.
• Leveraging technology and digital solutions to enhance collaboration and visibility across the supply chain.
• Developing risk assessment and mitigation strategies to address potential disruptions in the supply chain, such as geopolitical instability, natural disasters, or regulatory change.
• Establishing transparency and open lines of communication and information sharing between upstream, midstream, and downstream stakeholders.
