How does the nickel sector collectively ensure that it is seen to be addressing these concerns effectively? What do customers, investors and communities require of nickel producers so that this most versatile of materials can contribute its full potential to the benefit of people, the planet and prosperity?
During this seminar followed by cocktail reception, the Nickel Institute will present its vision for a sustainable nickel sector and garner a range of opinions and expertise to contribute to mapping out a way forward to a ‘win-win’ sustainable nickel industry.
