Mining the Future | Sustainability and Circularity beyond ESG

This episode goes beyond traditional ESG considerations to explore the evolving field of the circular economy and sustainability in mining. From recycling technologies to waste management solutions, mining companies are adopting circular economy principles to minimise environmental footprints and drive long-term sustainability. The speakers explore innovative ways to reduce waste, maximise resource efficiency, and create value from mining by-products. Speakers on this episode: Filipe Guimaraes | Head of Mining R&D - ArcelorMittal Dr Mathias Schluep | Managing Director - The World Resources Forum Joséphine Quioc | Senior Sustainability Consultant - TDi Sustainability This episode is part of the TDi Sustainability special series of podcasts produced in advance of the 2025 Resourcing Tomorrow event that will take place in London between 2-4 December.
