IWIM Seeks Partners to Drive Industry-Wide Equity Initiatives

International Women in Mining (IWIM) is looking for new partners to help it “scale up our impact” on the industry’s energy transition, critical minerals, decarbonisation, social and governance agendas.


“We are seeking partners who share our vision of an inclusive future for the natural resources sector,” IWIM industry relationship manager Allison Coppel said ahead of IMARC 2024, where the global not-for-profit organisation is launching its new growth strategy.
“By aligning your organisation with IWIM you will help drive tangible, measurable change while enhancing your own position as a leader in equity and sustainability.”

With an expanded focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) beyond gender, IWIM is well-positioned to lead systemic change across the industry, according to Coppel.

It was seeking “like-minded financial partners to join us on this journey”.

IWIM’s new vision is an “equitable and inclusive natural resources sector where all people can thrive”, the group says.

Over 15 years it has “consistently demonstrated its ability to affect meaningful change at both the policy and industry levels”.

“Our new strategy leverages this experience, offering potential partners the opportunity to invest in sustainable change, influence policy and industry standards and drive tangible results,” IWIM says.

The latter has been seen in leadership diversity and organisational transformation outcomes achieved through strategic initiatives such as the International Women in Resources Mentoring Programme (IWRMP) and IWIM’s DEI tools and frameworks.

IWIM is also looking to work with corporate partners on collaborative impact and learning programs, focused on creating safe spaces for shared learning and tailored DEI support.

“This collective approach accelerates change, ensuring the broader adoption of best practices in diversity, equity and inclusion,” it says.

Aligning with IWIM can help companies boost their brand reputation.

“In today's rapidly evolving industry, businesses and stakeholders alike recognise that diversity of thought is not just a moral imperative, but a critical driver of innovation, productivity, and profitability,” the group says.
“IWIM is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation but we cannot do it alone.
“With the right financial support IWIM will be able to accelerate the pace of transformation, scaling our initiatives globally and making sure that no one is left behind in this critical movement toward a more inclusive industry.”
