The Metals Company reigniting race to mine the ocean floor
British Columbia firm looks to unleash a new era of resource extraction, raising questions over how to protect deep-sea ecosystems we know little about.
Mine managers plan, organize and supervise all mine proceedings and may also find themselves responsible for associated activities around Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance, particularly in smaller companies.
The Re|Source project will be tested in real operating conditions, from cobalt mines in the DRC to electric vehicle production sites, and will run until the end of 2021.
Investors with deep pockets and major market influence are pushing for miners to adopt aggressive carbon reduction plans while the demand for improved environmental and social governance continues to intensify.
The miner's decision to replace two retiring female directors with men from Africa and Mexico has resulted in the first net gain in almost a year for men on the boards of S&P 500 companies.
