The mining industry currently faces an era of profound transformation, driven by the global energy transition, evolving ESG mandates, and geopolitical volatility. Mr. Cutifani emphasized the necessity of strategic foresight in this new landscape.

"Mining companies today are navigating a remarkably complex landscape where technical success is no longer sufficient on its own," Cutifani continued. "To ensure long-term project success, companies must move beyond traditional risk management and foster a more sophisticated engagement with the societies and environments in which they operate. Horizon Engage provides the critical intelligence required to build those resilient, long-term foundations."
