Dig Deep The ESG Opportunity In Mining - with Jamie Strauss
In this episode we chat to Jamie Strauss, Founder of Digbee, who are an ESG and data platform for the mining industry where their data and ESG ratings are used by investors and other stakeholders for the same reason.
Jamie is an entrepreneurial CEO for the mining sector with over 30 years of experience within finance and is a seasoned independent director of listed mining companies in the past. His extensive experience has inspired him to discover software solutions, to provide a unique ESG disclosure platform for the mining industry. Jamie talks to us about Digbee’s journey and how ESG is a big opportunity for everyone in the mining industry, especially not only for investment but also to improve the branding and perception of our industry.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Jamie has been focussed on ESG since 2020 when he set up a solution driven service designed to help the sector understand the issues being faced.
- The ESG aims were threefold - to remove confusion, to make sure there is standardisation, and to provide a communication platform to allow credible independent assessment.
- Explorers are really beginning to see the benefits of putting in ESG to strategies early on, allowing them to display full transparency.
- If you are a producer, your insurance sector needs to be able to supply information on a two way basis. This can hopefully bring down the cost of insurance premiums.
BEST MOMENTS
'From our point of view, this is the spine of the business'
'We help companies to navigate this disclosure'
'The information must be easy and simple to use'
'This industry has had a bit of a tough time in the past year'
