Mined Shift Episode 2: Good Conduct

Copper is at the heart of the energy transition, but sourcing it sustainably is a global challenge. In episode 2 of the Mined Shift podcast, host Sam Pauly is joined by Merlyn Gregory, Partner and Sustainability and Climate Strategy Lead at Deloitte, and Dr Robin Armstrong, Mining Sector Leader at the Natural History Museum. Together, they explore where copper comes from, why demand is set to nearly double by 2035, and what it will take to scale supply responsibly. Discover why copper supply is so complex—from the geology of deposits in South America and Africa, to the realities of permitting, infrastructure and the social licence to operate. Learn how innovation, digital tools and partnerships are helping the industry overcome barriers, and why recycling and circularity are critical in building a more resilient copper supply chain.
