INVESTMENT TEAM DIRECTOR, CHURCH OF ENGLAND PENSIONS BOARD, & CO-CHAIR OF THE INVESTOR MINING & TAILINGS SAFETY INITIATIVE
"The collective realization that waste has been managed as an externality was alarming, and despite the good practice that existed within some companies, this was a sector-wide systemic challenge that needs serious focus from investors."
CEO, CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR MINING INNOVATION (CEMI)
"If we consider waste management in our own households, 30 years ago everything went to landfill, but in time we have learned to re-use and recycle. The same can be said for many industrial business sectors, but the mining industry has not adopted this kind of waste diversion."
"We are proud of our role in developing the new Global Tailings Standard, having spent a lot of time with the organizations involved to provide experience and input that went a long way to shape the Standard. Quellaveco will meet international standards from day one."
"Standards for tailings facilities are definitely improving with more automatization, control and monitoring, so this is a segment where we are going to see a lot of work in the future."
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, FINANCE AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, REGENERON
Regeneron explains how its capabilities for target discovery and validation are enabled by a series of Regeneron-invented technologies that accelerate, improve and disrupt the traditional drug discovery and development process.
"The challenge for the construction sector is to not overreact to any situation and also take a longer-term view, using this time as an opportunity to be creative and innovative, incorporate new technology and be more productive and sustainable."
Mexico's chemical industry faces challenges in securing a reliable feedstock supply and maintaining global competitiveness.
