About the WIM 100
The WIM 100 celebrates 100 women from all over the world, highlighting their transformative contributions to mining. It also helps to identify role models for peers and future generations alike.
This year the WIM UK team received 570 individual nominations and worked over six months to select the 100 finalists. This is the WIM100’s most diverse year to date, with women finalists nominated from 41 countries. This is a significant increase from the 15 countries when the initiative first started in 2013 and demonstrates the global reach of the WIM100 and the resources sector.
Dr. Stacy Hope, Managing Director of WIM UK, said: “It is a privilege to recognise and honour these 100 remarkable women, whose voices and stories showcase the rich diversity and resilience within the mining sector.
“Having witnessed the evolution of the WIM100 since its inception in 2013, this edition is particularly noteworthy for the depth of roles and responsibilities these women hold, spanning from assistant and junior specialist roles to executive leadership, as well as the significant expansion in the geographic representation of those nominated.
“Their achievements offer inspiration to their peers and the next generation, and also reinforce that progress in diversity is achievable.”
