Building Resilient and Scalable AI Value Chains: A Nexus Strategy
Water, Land, Electricity, Emissions
The Mining and Metals industry plays a critical role in the global economy, supplying the essential materials that underpin energy, transport, construction and many other sectors. As demand, technologies and operating conditions evolve, changes across the industry have far-reaching implications for interconnected value chains and societies.
Bringing together leading executives from across the sector, the Mining and Metals Industry Community provides a platform for peer exchange, strategic dialogue and collaboration. Members share perspectives, experiences and emerging insights to help shape the future of the industry.
Through proactive collaboration, the community seeks to advance a more responsible, productive and resilient industry. For the year ahead, the community has identified minerals and metals supply chain resilience as a key priority. This work is shaped by broader trends transforming the industry, including geopolitical fragmentation, the energy and technology transition, decarbonization, rising expectations around responsible mining and social licence, and the growing role of innovation, digital technologies and AI in improving productivity, resilience and sustainability.
