What is trust? How do you measure it? And more importantly, how do you earn it back once you’ve lost it? Those three questions are at the root of a growing conversation within the mining industry.

In this episode of Why We Mine, presented by Teck, host Robin Stickley sits down with Rohitesh Dhawan, the President and CEO of the International Council on Mining and Metals, who delivered some straight talk to the industry: it has a trust issue on its hands. Together, they explore the origins of that trust gap, and the importance of empathizing and engaging with skeptics. Robin also hears from Katie Fedosenko, Teck’s Director of ESG Engagement, Asia and Europe, to learn how the mining industry is evolving to be a better listener, and how companies are actively working to earn public trust, to help further society’s shared goals related to the green energy transition.
