In this episode, we chat with Dr. Stacy Hope, who is the MD of Women in Mining UK and a global advisor on subjects including ESG, Social Investing, Climate, gender Smart Cities, and Resilience.

She has a background in Anthropology and talks to us about Women in Mining and their purpose and discusses some topics around ESG, social investing, and gender equality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dr. Stacy is a strategic advisor for various multilateral agencies including the UN Group and The World Bank, and also works across the fields of agriculture and water.
• In many cases, mining really defines the communities in which it takes place, which makes it a potent force for social change.
• Mining companies are increasingly seeing the value of having women working within the industry.
• Being underrepresented within an industry creates challenges. In the episode, Stacey explains some of them and how this leads to a high drop-off rate.
• The progress paths within the industry still fit in better with the family responsibilities men tend to have than those that many women have.
• Internships are an excellent way to attract more women into the industry.
• Having women working at all levels of an organization in a range of roles changes the organizational norms. It opens everyone´s minds to the possibilities.
• The industry employing more women in jurisdictions where women are still treated as 2nd class citizens is proving to be a very powerful catalyst for social change.
• WIM100 is raising awareness of the possibilities for women in mining, across the world. Demonstrating the benefits of diversity in mining, while boosting the careers of nominees.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We need to think of innovative ways to bring all genders, all ethnicities to the forefront.’

‘Maybe mining needs to think a bit more about the skill set. About the talent as opposed to the education.’

‘Let´s get that forward-thinking, future-proofing strategic thinking going.’
