Metals have played a crucial role throughout human history – an importance that with technological advancements and the energy transition is only increasing.
However, a complex blend of social, economic, and political factors is putting the supply of many metals at risk.
Our very future depends on addressing the imbalances within this global system.
While essential to supporting the environment and the modern economy, mining has a troubled history.
Its negative effects have often fallen disproportionately on local communities.
The perception of mining as an industry plagued by social and environmental problems has led to decades of underinvestment.
Because mining is necessary to the economy and our planetary future, we all have an interest in the industry.
Metals for Humanity (M4H) aims to align stakeholders to promote knowledge, transparency and best practices to ensure the mining industry meets societal needs globally and locally.
