DESCRIPTION: The mining and metals industry is recovering from one of its most difficult periods in decades. Market volatility and a downturn in commodity prices have created a new normal where cost cuts, automation, and operational efficiency are a must. Meanwhile industry-specific issues related to regulation, geopolitical risk, legal limits on natural resource use, shareholder activism, and public scrutiny have created additional challenges.
OUTCOMES: In partnership with the World Economic Forum, CCSI curated the Transformation Map of the Mining and Metals sector; it maps out the seven drivers that are already and will continue transforming the mining and metals sector. Transformation maps are a dynamic knowledge tool to understand the issues and forces driving transformational change across economies, industries and global issues and they are publicly accessible upon sign-up here.
A summarized version of the seven drivers transforming mining can be accessed here (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/03/seven-trends-shaping-the-future-of-the-mining-and-metals-sector/).
