SAFE leads Africa ESG discussion

SAFE is chairing an important discussion with mining CEOs and sustainability experts on how ESG is shaping mining’s corporate strategy as part of the upcoming Energy and Mines Africa Virtual Summit, May 4-6.

This interactive panel will provide insight on how ESG is shaping mining’s corporate strategy and internal processes for defining, valuing and reporting ESG. Panelists include:

● Danny Callow, Chief Executive Officer, African Gold Group

● Catharine Farrow, Chair of the Sustainability Committee of the Board, Centamin

● Ricus Grimbeek, President and CEO, Trevali Mining Corporation

● Stewart Bailey, Executive Vice President - Corporate Affairs & Sustainability, AngloGold Ashanti

Over 200 senior mining leaders heading energy and sustainability decisions for African mines will participate in this virtual Summit and will be joined by 200+ renewable energy, finance and government experts.

The event will showcase the mining companies leading the transition to low-carbon, sustainable mining operations in Africa and address key questions around how mines assess renewable energy options and analyze the commercial structure of these projects. It will also focus on how mining leaders are aligning ESG goals with energy strategy for African operations.

Among the mining presenters confirmed to speak are representatives from B2Gold, Ivanhoe Mines, Trevali, African Gold Group, Newmont, Giyani Metals, Gold Fields South Africa, Perseus Mining, Orion Minerals, Caledonia Mining, Syrah Resources, Pan African Resources, Anglo American, AngloGold Ashanti, Impala Platinum, De Beers Group, Sibanye-Stillwater, RIDA Group, Centamin, Rio Tinto, and Resolute Mining.

“We are delighted to be these mining and energy leaders sharing their energy strategies and addressing key questions around the remaining challenges for integrating low-carbon solutions for mines,” said Adrienne Baker, Director, Energy and Mines. “Africa is a key market for energy innovation and decarbonisation in mining but it’s also a tough market to navigate which is why bringing together these two audiences together is critical for mining’s energy transition.”

Following 4 successful virtual Summits and 18 in-person events, Energy and Mines will provide a necessary platform for senior energy decision-makers for African mines to connect with renewables, finance, regulatory and government experts.
