What is copper used for and why do we need it?

Copper isn’t just a metal—it’s the backbone of the technologies driving our world forward. From electric vehicles and solar panels to AI and data centres, copper powers the systems that power us. 

In the debut episode of the Mined Shift podcast, host Sam Pauly sits down with Jon Stanton, CEO of Weir, and Menno Sanderse, CFO of Copper at Rio Tinto, to unpack copper’s critical role in the clean energy transition.

We are living in a defining moment. What happens next is up to us. The world needs more metals to get to net zero and they need to be produced more sustainably. So how can we make that happen? Join me, Sam Pauly and guests from industry and investors, scientists and sustainability experts to talk about the metals it takes to create the things we need and how we can deliver those in a more sustainable way.
