A) Performance Culture and Belief Systems - what beliefs does the industry need to address to transform future performance outcomes?

This roundtable will seek to identify current beliefs that may be holding the industry back from its full potential and then, with the expert facilitation of Zoe Williams, a conversation will be had regarding the art of the possible and a new way forward for the industry.

What belief systems are currently in place in the mining industry and what beliefs do we need to have to achieve new performance outcomes?
Is it acceptable to maintain beliefs that injuries or fatalities can and will occur in mining? Can we transform beliefs around what's possible regarding sustainability, carbon emission targets?
What's possible when developing assets in developing third world countries to optimise the positive impact mining can have on the communities they serve?
Is it possible to maximise shareholder value AND focus on optimising the returns to all stakeholders of the industry in equal measure?

B) Collaboration, transparency & resilience: decarbonising the mining sector

The economics and science which underpin climate change mean decarbonisation will be accelerated and a collective effort from the Mining sector, Government, financiers and communities, is required to respond. This roundtable will provide an opportunity to participate in a discussion about effective strategies to decarbonise down under. Kate Hartness will facilitate a conversation about the urgent need to decarbonise, including details about the recently amended Safeguard Mechanism (SGM). Specifically, the SGM impacts on forecasting emissions reduction accurately, minimising CAPEX and OPEX, and maintaining a healthy balance sheet (in readiness for expansion of assets or Greenfield developments). We will also explore asset optimisation, circular economy principles and renewable power systems, as a key decarbonisation tactics.
