Mining Indaba Reflection

GUEST – Peter Major - Director a Mining at Modern Corporate Solutions

As Day 2 of Mining Indaba comes to a close, the conversations have been rich with insights, commitments, and bold visions for the future of the mining industry. From sustainability pledges to discussions on community impact and technological advancements, industry leaders have set ambitious goals. But as the conference energy fades, an essential question remains: How do we ensure these commitments translate into real, measurable change?



In this conversation, we’ll reflect on the key takeaways from today’s discussions and explore how stakeholders—governments, investors, communities, and industry players—can hold the mining sector accountable beyond the conference stage. What mechanisms exist to track progress? How can transparency be enforced? And most importantly, how do we ensure that the voices of those most affected by mining operations continue to be heard long after the event ends.
