Development of a Sustainability Task Force for the NMA

TDi collaborated with the National Mining Association (NMA) between 2020-2022, to support the development of, and co-facilitate, a Sustainability Task Force. The purpose of the collaboration was to assist NMA members in exploring and advancing sustainability initiatives in their respective companies.

TDi’s knowledge of the sustainability space and their ability to connect us with key stakeholders were invaluable in advancing our Sustainability Task Force. They developed programs and resources that allowed our member companies to significantly advance their sustainability goals.

TDi’s impact and solutions

  • TDi conducted a multi-year technical programme of diverse and knowledgeable speakers to inform and facilitate discussions on ESG issues within member companies – providing access to organisations not previously engaged with.
