About this episode
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles are no longer optional—they are a strategic necessity for mining companies aiming for long-term success.
This special episode of the Transformers podcast is the first in a series leading up to the AFNIS summit 2025. This episode features long-time #AFNIS supporter, Segilola Resources Operating Ltd., taking a deep dive into organisational approach to sustainability in the #goldmining sector. This includes:
