Mining

Mining metals and minerals is essential to human life and development. This is especially the case as the world pursues a transition to low or no carbon energy. I have worked with mining companies for most of my career, pushing for responsible business practices and promoting discussion on mining and the common good. One way I do this is through the Mining and Faith Reflections Initiative.

Mining and the common good

I have been involved with the Mining and Faith Reflections Initiative from the start. It brings global mining CEOs together with church leaders from around the world. The aim: explore how mining can better serve the common good.
