Trends That Are Redefining Mining in 2022 with Andrew Swart

In this episode, we chat with Andrew Swart, Global Mining and Metals Leader at Deloitte. He talks about their recently released 2022 Global Mining Trends Report. A report that focuses on the top 10 trends that will impact the mining industry in the next 12-18 months.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• This year´s report focuses on redefining the mining industry.
• There are currently many external forces driving change. Including, ESG, changing values, labour forces, and changes in demand.
• A lack of talent is making a huge difference to the culture of mining.
• Turning to less traditional talent pools and adopting more flexible working practices is helping the industry to bridge the gap.
• Many talented people now want to be a part of positive change and look for that when deciding where to work.
• Companies are now thinking more about how to mitigate the risk from climate change, e.g., more flooding and inclement weather.
• The value chain is changing, new customer bases are coming on stream.
• There are broader geopolitical and tax risks. Something Andrew covers in detail during the podcast.
• A lack of cyber security is a big issue.
