The panel kicks off with a look at how ESG is integrated into the decision-making and investment process, how ESG considerations have evolved over the years and whether it is a more or a less formal process these days. Panellists note that the process is becoming more comprehensive and stringent, with increasing regulatory requirements. They also note a shift in investor attitudes.
Following on, the panel asks whether ESG compliance and criteria will soon be the only way for miners to access capital and how the more fossil fuel-intensive industries can get funded in a situation where they are still part of the energy mix.
The panel discuss whether they use a metrics-based or more holistic approach to their decision-making. There is also a discussion on risk and how to measure it within an investment.
