Oil & Mining

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has rightly captured the attention of political and economic leaders around the world, the threats facing mining and oil companies from climate change remain urgent.

Paradoxically, as the global electrification of industries continues, electric vehicles and batteries will create growth markets for cobalt, lithium and nickel. Deep decarbonization of industrial segments would also favour green hydrogen and biomass over metallurgical coal.

On the other hand, advanced-connectivity technologies could help oil producers optimize drilling and production throughput, improve maintenance and field operations, and reduce costs.

In both sectors mining and oil, high stakes investments are currently made to address the productivity- and the decarbonization challenges and furthermore to meet Paris Agreement goals for limiting global warming.

New evidence shows mining and oil companies needs to pay more attention to its talents. Great leaders offer more than just skills and can drive the climate change transformation, while creating sustainable value. We look forward to supporting mining and Oil corporations in executive search projects and putting human capital at the center of their business strategy.
