How to build the cross-chain collaboration that turns responsible sourcing commitments into secure, sustainable supply.
Join 100+ senior leaders from across mining, manufacturing, finance, policy and civil society who recognise that collaboration is key to securing a sustainable critical minerals supply.
Engage in frank, solutions-focused discussions on how responsibility can be embedded in a value chain where downstream companies are far removed from extraction, data is fragmented, and geopolitics increasingly shapes supply decisions. No easy answers or one-size-fits-all frameworks – just honest conversation grounded in lived experience of what progress actually looks like.
