The 2023 theme Sustainable Mining: Shifting the Paradigm recognises that the resources sector is committed to change but with increasing external pressures, the required pace and breadth of that change will be unprecedented. What does a transition to a sustainable mining industry mean for companies, suppliers, and resources professionals? How can the sector adapt to meet the increasing demands of society and what role will it play in the future of the communities where it operates?

The online Limited Series focused on four strategic topics, exploring what the future of the resources sector might look like and what must happen to get there.

In 2022, the Series explored five strategic topics that were vital to secure the industry’s future. Topics included Indigenous voices, technology and decarbonisation, and the future workforce.

COVID served as a powerful reminder to the resources sector’s that we have a vital role in underpinning economic resilience, employment and investment. While the industry has adapted to life post lock downs, the operating and strategic environment for mining only grows more complex.   

In a constantly evolving environment, resources professionals are the essential drivers of change to support the growth of a diverse, resilient and responsible resources sector. 

In 2021 AusIMM's Thought Leadership Series was delivered as four, thought-provoking online presentations.

Focusing on the theme of Next Generation Mining, the series explored some of the critical challenges and opportunities facing current and future leaders, driving towards a sustainable and robust industry where Australia plays a key role in the global geopolitical landscape.
