Collaborative strategies for circular minerals sourcing to accelerate a low-carbon energy future

To decarbonise our energy systems, we must circularise the supply of critical minerals while investing in responsible extraction. What collaborative strategies are required to meet the scale of change required? How can strategic alignment and collaboration across and along value chains be achieved? 

Time: Thursday 1 June at 15:00–17:00 EEST (UTC+3)
Place: Messukeskus conference centre, Meeting Room 208, Messuaukio 1, Helsinki 

As industries pursue decarbonisation, reduced waste and social equity, circular approaches unlock new strategies, levers, business models, revenue flows and technologies. This session will identify how collaborative efforts among different stakeholders can move the industry forward – beyond incremental efficiency gains. Practitioners throughout mineral value chains, from the mining industry to manufacturers, investors, policy makers and civil society actors, are invited to share their strategic priorities and solutions in pursuit of sustainable innovation.
