On 25 March at 18:30 GMT, the Institute of Directors (IoD) will launch its new Natural Resources special interest group at the House of Lords, London.
Business leaders, government ministers, ambassadors, high commissioners, representatives of diplomatic missions to the UK, and members of the House of Lords will be in invite-only attendance.
The event will encourage responsible harnessing of natural resources for the global energy transition and witness the first-ever signing of The Responsible Natural Resources Declaration by the attendees.
The event will include speeches from the Rt. Hon. Baroness Lindsay Northover, Vice Chair of the APPG on Critical Minerals, Nusrat Ghani MP, Minister of State for the Department of Business and Trade and the Investment Security Unit, and a pioneer for critical minerals policy for the UK.
The industry keynotes will feature Simon Moores, CEO of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, and Richard Taylor, Chair of the IOD Natural Resources Special Interest Group (SIG).
The Institute of Directors (IoD), the UK's leading body for professional directors, formed in 1903 and was granted a Royal Charter in 1906. Their Natural Resources SIG is a platform designed to facilitate communications between industry leaders, government officials, and peers in the natural resources sector. It aims to enable the sharing of best practices and to engage in constructive discussions about critical issues affecting the industry. By working together, the participants can take action to advance the energy transition.
This sector encompasses several crucial areas such as commodity metals, critical minerals, processing and mining, energy, water, fisheries, and agriculture. These areas are essential to the UK's economy and the global sustainable future.
Commenting on the launch, the IOD's Natural Resources leadership team, Richard Taylor, Juan Cabrera, and Kruthika A. Bala stated:
"We are delighted to launch the Natural Resources SIG, which will provide a valuable platform for individuals and organisations working in this vital sector. By bringing together diverse perspectives, we can foster collaboration, share knowledge, and contribute to a more sustainable and prosperous future for the UK's natural resources industry.
“We are delighted to host this launch reception with Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, signifying our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration within the vital natural resources sector. "
