Jamie Strauss, Founder and CEO of Digbee will be presenting:
“The ESG Illusion: Why Investors Want Impact, Not Paperwork”
Too often, mining equates responsibility with reporting, producing ESG paperwork that creates the appearance of responsibility without real impact. Yet over 80% of mining leaders believe higher sustainability standards enhance competitiveness. With 83% of projects going over budget by 40% on average, often due to unresolved ESG risks, investors are no longer satisfied with box-ticking. They want proof of impact: evidence that risks are reduced, communities engaged, and governance strong. The reward for companies that can demonstrate this is not just better access to capital, but higher-quality investors who bring long-term support and premium valuations.
Jamie is the Founder & CEO of Digbee, the independent assessment platform transforming how mining companies prove responsibility, reduce risk, and attract capital. With 25+ years in mining finance, Jamie built Digbee to bridge the gap between investor expectations and operational realities – helping management teams earn trust, stand out, and achieve premium valuations. Our mission is simple: rebuild trust in mining, reverse disinvestment, and show that responsibility is a value driver, not a cost.
