As one of the hottest business trends of this decade, ESG brings huge potential to positively impact gender equality as corporations are being held accountable for their gender diversity commitments along with other ESG risks and opportunities.

We will hear from inspiring female leaders who are driving change in their organizations and industries and how they are implementing ESG principles in their decision-making processes. Our speakers will share their insights on the importance of ESG, their challenges, and how they have overcome them. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired!

In 2022, despite the pandemic, Peru managed to start a new mine and will soon complete the construction of another. In addition, they have expanded several mines and received approval to start new mining projects. But recent social unrest is now jeopardizing contract compliance and stalled purchase orders creating notable challenges for Canadian mining suppliers in Peru.

On Monday, March 6th, at the 2023 Peru day at PDAC, we seek to identify lessons learned from these circumstances and identify opportunities in the context of enhancing the virtues of the Peruvian mining industry and overcoming the flaws that have slowed down its dynamism in recent years, by contrasting the views and proposals of mining leaders and senior government officers.
