Join the Mining Sustainability Summit
Introducing the Mining Sustainability Summit
Our Mining Sustainability Summit membership is designed for executives, and directors of sustainability within the mining sector. The responsibility for ESG in your organization rests with you and you are committed to making a difference both for your company and for the greater good.
Sustainability leaders asked us for a platform where they could come together, be informed about the latest updates in the world of ESG, and exchange ideas and challenges in a confidential setting, and we listened.
The Mining Sustainability Summit will empower members to take a strategic approach to business sustainability in your organizations. Members will gain access to a wealth of expertise and resources that will allow you to thrive in the rapidly changing world of mining and sustainability.
*NEW in 2026* – You spoke, we listened. Several of our Summit members asked if we could help at the managerial level too. With that in mind, we have created a membership specifically for managers which is available exclusively to members of the Mining Sustainability Summit. See below for more information.
"What I love about the Mining Sustainability Summit is the depth of conversation and the meaningful connections it fosters. It’s a space where we openly share ideas, resources, and experiences. The Chatham House Rule approach creates a genuine sense of trust and safety, making it easy to speak candidly and learn from one another."
- Paula Caldwell St-Onge, Board Director, STRACON Group

Strong sustainability performance depends on more than executive-level direction. Managers also need the knowledge and confidence to respond to evolving requirements, complete complex disclosures, and communicate sustainability priorities throughout the organization.

- 30 minutes for questions, discussion and shared learning

Sessions will address topics that are directly relevant to sustainability management within mining companies, such as:
