Session Details
As the push for deregulation and faster permitting increases, challenges abound for mining companies, ranging from U.S. tariffs and legal requirements to shifting EU Omnibus due diligence and reporting directives; from international mining standards to tailings management; from changes in U.S. protections against child and forced labor to evolving community engagement approaches in Canada. These shifting regulatory landscapes are prompting companies to adapt to new risks and revisit assumptions that certain operating environments are ‘low risk’. This presents opportunities as well as challenges: breaking down departmental silos and connecting site teams; moving beyond regulatory compliance and proactively addressing risks; and filling gaps through digitizing supplier management, enhancing workforce engagement; and improving community relations.
