The Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030 is a collaborative investor-led initiative seeking to define a vision for a socially and environmentally responsible mining sector overall by 2030, and to develop a consensus about the role of finance in realising this vision.
It recognises the mining industry’s important role in society and the transition to a low carbon economy and aims to ensure the sector leaves a positive legacy by addressing key systemic risks holistically.
Mission
Why mining?

Mined resources underpin modern society. From electric car batteries, to fertiliser for farming, to renewable energy production, the transition to a net zero global economy requires low-carbon solutions that are mineral-intensive. Mining will determine whether or not the world can achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
There is good practice in many individual companies. However, as a sector it must overcome a range of systemic challenges if it is to meet the needs of society sustainably and responsibly. Mining can be a catalyst for growth, jobs and development. It can also be a contributor to or exacerbate conflict. How investors in the sector understand these issues will be key to developing a vision for the industry that can enable investors to play a constructive role through the way they invest, steward and value the sector.
