Materials

Resource extraction and processing bring heightened risks from environmental regulation, price volatility, permitting delays and tailings management. Material topics include water use, labour conditions, biodiversity loss, lifecycle emissions and compliance, requiring strong governance and transparent reporting to support long-term value.

Financial exposures amplify through biodiversity regulations and water scarcity constraints where traditional risk assessments struggle to quantify cascading operational impacts. Human expertise becomes essential for interpreting complex environmental compliance requirements whilst AI-powered monitoring systems help identify early warning signals across waste management and emissions tracking that drive long-term competitive positioning.
