#18 Leaders in Investment podcast: Adam Matthews, Chief Responsible Investment Officer, Church of England Pensions Board and Chair, Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030

About this episode

Adam Matthews discusses the formation of the Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030 and its impact on transparency and reporting standards in the extractives sector.

In Episode #18 Adam Matthews discusses the impetus behind the Commission’s formation, its collaboration with pension funds from around the world and how its work in the extractives sector provides a roadmap for investors looking to implement transparency and reporting standards in other sectors. “When [mining] goes wrong, often it can have huge implications. It can have huge environmental impacts, it can have huge social impacts, and it kills people.” This episode of Leaders in Investment is sponsored by PGIM.
