Sustainability 2.0: Rethinking Mining from the Ground Up | Resourcing Tomorrow x TDi Sustainability podcast series 2026

Sustainability is moving beyond reporting frameworks into the design and operation of mining itself. Securing and maintaining trust now depends on how consistently companies manage environmental and social impacts, respond to community priorities and demonstrate tangible local value. Without that operational discipline, even well-funded projects can face delays, disruption or closure.

This episode explores what Sustainability 2.0 looks like in practice: embedding circularity, transparent engagement, human rights, measurable environmental performance and shared value into everyday decisions across the mine lifecycle. It asks how disruptive thinking can move sustainability from a reporting function to a driver of continuity, resilience and long-term project success.

• Monica Moretto: Vice President, Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion, Pan American Silver
• Bryony Clear Hill: Director of Innovation, ICMM

In this episode, the panelists explore what it takes to move sustainability beyond reporting and embed it in the decisions that shape mine design, operations and closure. They discuss building trust through participation and co-design, creating durable local value, managing trade-offs, scaling risk-based standards and using process redesign, circularity and collaboration to improve performance. The conversation concludes that Sustainability 2.0 is achieved when sustainability becomes a practical source of operational resilience, continuity and long-term value.
