April 29, 2013 #CommsChat on comms in mining and metals

Reputation in the extractives industry is complex and difficult as crisis is ever present and the need for risk management is of the utmost importance. Communicate magazine’s Reputation in Oil, Gas and Mining conference takes place on 13 June featuring a roster of speakers from the industry.

This week, on #CommsChat, we’ll be joined by Ben Peachey (@benpeachey), communications director at the International Council on Metals and Mining. Take a look at the following topics and tune in to what is sure to be an interesting hour!

• What role does the ICMM play? Why are organisations like this important in the extractives industry?
• What are the top issues facing mining and metals companies?
• Is ICMM having an impact on the mining industry?
• What impacts reputation for companies in the industry?
• How does crisis impact the industry and what is it’s relationship to reputation?
• What will the future look like for mining? Will sustainability become even more important?

Join us! We tweet from @CommsChat and #CommsChat takes place from 8-9pm UK time – for worldwide times, go here. Anyone can take part in the discussion – simply follow the hashtag here or on Twitter. If you can’t make the chat or would like to revisit it, a transcript will go up on Tuesday morning.
