The Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030, backed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and Cape Town, was launched in January (News, 3 February). It announced last week that it had secured the support of 82 asset owners and fund managers, who, between them, manage $11 trillion in assets. They include the Dutch fund APG-AM, the Canadian fund CDPQ, the American fund CalSTRS, and the UK funds Scottish Widows and USS. Its members include representatives from the mining industry as well as from intergovernmental organisations, academia, trades unions, and legal and investment firms. The role of investors is critical to how the sector can meet future demand sustainably and responsibly.
