Passionate about DEI | Working towards a more inclusive natural resources sector for all | Change Agent
Highlights from the IGFMining AGM. Last week, I attended the IGF Mining Annual General Meeting in Geneva, where representatives from IGF Mining’s 85 member states gathered to discuss "Balancing the need for minerals with protecting people and the planet." The event featured insights from government officials, subject matter experts, and global institutions. Things that resonated included: - Innovative Solutions: Embracing technical advancements in water, energy, recycling, and biodiversity is crucial to making mining more efficient and less resource-intensive. - Reframing Waste: Viewing waste as a valuable resource can shift investor behaviour and unlock new opportunities. - Circularity: how much there is still to learn about circularity and how mining can use it towards sustainability as well as cost reduction - Empowering ASM: Formalising artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) through technical assistance, safer practices, and regulation is vital to improving production, reducing harm, and addressing social issues like gender-based violence and child labour. - Rethinking Value Chains: Moving beyond "ground to port" in the Global South is essential, focusing on value addition, local supply chains, and economic diversification in mining-producing nations. - Local Procurement Potential: Mining companies’ largest in-country expenditure is often local procurement—an area ripe for maximising benefits to host communities. - Gender Integration: Gender-responsive frameworks are critical as demand for critical minerals grows. Evidence-based research, impact assessments, and gender-sensitive policies must guide both private and public sectors to ensure inclusivity and minimise harm. - Legislative Progress: Countries like Nigeria and Colombia are advancing gender-sensitive and inclusive legal frameworks, offering promising examples for the sector. We left inspired by the global commitment to fostering innovation, equity, and sustainability in mining.

Uluslararası Madencilik Sektöründe Kadınlar Kuruluşu (IWIM) tarafından, sektördeki kadınların kariyer gelişimini desteklemek ve liderlik rollerine hazırlanmalarını sağlamak amacıyla geliştirilen mentörlük programında bu yıl 3 çalışanımız menti olarak yer aldı. 2 Ekim’de Londra’da düzenlenen etkinlik ve Rio Tinto’nun ev sahipliğindeki mentörlük resepsiyonu, çalışanlarımız için unutulmaz bir deneyim ve öğrenmek fırsatı sundu. ➡️ IWRMP’de Yer Alan Mentilerimiz: ✨ İlke Kızılöz – Proses Teknik Hizmetler Müdür Yardımcısı ✨ Sevin Uzer – Harita Mühendisi ✨ Sare Ayça Tokat – Kıdemli Metalurji Mühendisi Kadın çalışanların güçlenmesi yalnızca bireyler ya da şirketler için değil, sektörümüz ve ülkemiz için de daha kapsayıcı bir geleceğe kapı aralıyor. Tüprag olarak, bu anlamlı programın bir parçası olmaktan gurur duyuyor ve 2021 yılından bu yana IWiM ile yürütülen bu değerli iş birliği sayesinde ülkemizin kadın mühendislerini desteklemeyi sürdürüyoruz. 💪

IWIM applauds Rio Tinto for the release of their second Everyday Respect at Work Report. This report demonstrates a commendable commitment to transparency, leadership and inclusion, addressing not just workplace behaviours but also the beliefs and mental models that shape their culture. It takes courage and vulnerability to go public. As one of our Ally Corporate Partners, Rio Tinto’s ongoing efforts to foster a respectful and inclusive environment resonate strongly with IWIM’s mission to advance gender equity and drive transformational change across the mining sector. Although some may only look at the huge amount of work left to do after reading it, we also want to pause and acknowledge that 11,600 people had trust in the process and shared their views for this report and feel more confident that they can speak up. It is natural in any DEI change management exercise for numbers to go down further before they go up as more employees feel they can report. Ca. 20% of global employee individual contributions is massive. Change that sticks takes time and patience. Rio Tinto's progress serves as a powerful reminder of the work we must all do to create workplaces where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered to thrive. Especially these days, when the importance of improvements in diversity is being questioned. We are proud to collaborate with forward-thinking organisations like Rio Tinto, and we encourage others to follow their lead in addressing cultural challenges with accountability, transparency and a long-term vision for systemic change. Together, we can build a more equitable future for mining and beyond. #responsiblemining #respectatwork
It’s been 2 years since we released the Everyday Respect Report and today we've released the findings from an independent Progress Review on our work to deliver sustained workplace cultural change across our global operations. We can see that change is happening and we're making progress. However, there are serious challenges we must continue to address. People are still experiencing behaviours and attitudes in our company that are unacceptable and harmful. And we're troubled by this. Thank you to all of our team members, past and present, who have shown the courage to speak up. Read the executive summary from the report below 👇.
