 Jamie Strauss, Founder and CEO of Digbee<br />\n
 Too often, mining equates responsibility with reporting, producing ESG paperwork that creates the appearance of responsibility without real impact. Yet over 80% of mining leaders believe higher sustainability standards enhance competitiveness. With 83% of projects going over budget by 40% on average, often due to unresolved ESG risks, investors are no longer satisfied with box-ticking. They want proof of impact: evidence that risks are reduced, communities engaged, and governance strong. The reward for companies that can demonstrate this is not just better access to capital, but higher-quality investors who bring long-term support and premium valuations.<br />\n
 Jamie is the Founder &amp; CEO of Digbee, the independent assessment platform transforming how mining companies prove responsibility, reduce risk, and attract capital. With 25+ years in mining finance, Jamie built Digbee to bridge the gap between investor expectations and operational realities &ndash; helping management teams earn trust, stand out, and achieve premium valuations. Our mission is simple: rebuild trust in mining, reverse disinvestment, and show that responsibility is a value driver, not a cost.​​​​​{{image:%7B%22asset%22%3A%22892BA8C6-8356-4D18-B1685A7B3BC42466%22%2C%22alt_text%22%3A%22Gold%20colour%20Digbee%20logo%20with%20text%20Digbee%20to%20the%20right%20hand%20side%22%2C%22alignment%22%3A%22auto%22%2C%22dimensions%22%3A%22150x84%22%2C%22quality%22%3A%22highestPerformance%22%2C%22spacing_top%22%3A%225%22%2C%22spacing_right%22%3A%225%22%2C%22spacing_bottom%22%3A%225%22%2C%22spacing_left%22%3A%225%22%2C%22copyright%22%3A%22%22%2C%22caption%22%3A%22%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22%22%2C%22link_asset%22%3A%22%22%2C%22link_page%22%3A%22%22%2C%22link_target%22%3A%22_self%22%7D:image}}<br />\n
