Mining Journal Intelligence’s (MJI) annual Global Leadership Report delivers unique insights into mining’s priority issues today, based on interviews with 20+ top executives and experts and an industrywide survey.

The 2024 issue – which features interviews with executives of mining companies with a combined market capitalisation of about US$270 billion – focuses on mining’s push toward net zero carbon emissions.

With most major mining companies committed to net zero by 2050 (or earlier), the report examines the industry’s first steps and asks whether meaningful emissions reductions have been achieved to date.

It also identifies the biggest obstacles on the path to net zero – including limited renewable energy and progress in developing low-emission fleets – and the top strategies for hitting decarbonisation targets from mining executives and decarbonisation experts.

Our research cuts through the complexities around Scope 3 and reveals the industry’s true attitudes toward decarbonisation – including scepticism around how realistic net zero is as a goal for mining.

Methodology:

The Global Leadership Report uses a three-pronged approach to deliver insights: Interviews with C-suite executives of larger mining companies (>US$1 billion market cap), expert interviews, plus an industrywide survey.

For the 2024 edition, more than 20 senior executives and experts were interviewed on the theme of decarbonisation or net zero. The executives represent mining companies with a combined market capitalisation of about US$270 billion.

The survey was promoted by email and received more than 200 responses, mainly from mining company officials, as well as mining services companies and investors.

The theme of net zero was selected after environmental improvement was identified as a top industry priority in previous surveys, after safety and community relations or social licence – which were the themes covered in the 2022 and 2023 editions.
