The Deep Dives with DPI podcast engages in critical conversations surrounding the global minerals value chain, advocating for mining's pivotal role in a just energy transition and sustainable future.

In this episode, Raymond Offenheiser shares insights from his extensive career. We look into forming the Development Partner Framework and its three pillars, as well as the history of relationships between stakeholders. These relationships have changed significantly over the years due to factors such as altering a decades-old operational model, investing in research, and legislative changes that pushed for transparency.

Offering insight into how the industry got to this point, the podcast delves into the importance of collaboration with stakeholder groups. Raymond’s emphasis on the importance of dialogue among civil society, businesses and governments resonates deeply, especially in today’s polarised environment. His call to action serves as a reminder of the importance of building dynamic civil societies that promote collaboration, inclusivity and shared purpose. With the growing importance of considering broader societal impact, these factors help the mining industry shape a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous future for all.
