- Overview of the new GRI Standards: Key changes, reporting requirements, and alignment with global frameworks
- Practical insights: How Australian mining companies can prepare for implementation.
- Challenges and opportunities: Leveraging GRI standards for enhanced sustainability performance and reputational gains.
- Understanding evolving regulations: Key provisions of legislation impacting mineral supply chains (e.g. Conflict Minerals Regulation, Modern Slavery).
- Due diligence and traceability: Best practices, challenges, and emerging technologies.

This event will also provide you the opportunity to network with fellow mining industry professionals with a common interest in sustainability and ESG regulation.
