The meeting was attended by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the vice-president and minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, Geraldo Alckmin, and ministers Fernando Haddad (Finance), Luciana Santos (Science, Technology and Innovation) and Mauro Vieira (Foreign Affairs).
The commission, chaired by Adam C.T. Matthews of the Anglican Church Pension Fund, represents more than 85 global financial institutions and proposes new governance and responsible investment mechanisms in the mineral sector.
During the meeting, Silveira highlighted that Brazil is a mineral power committed to the best sustainability practices, highlighting that the country already has one of the most rigorous environmental laws in the world and a clean and renewable energy matrix. He also recalled that the Federal Government established the National Council for Mineral Policy (CNPM), which brings together 18 State ministers and consolidates new governance for the sector.
We conduct our mineral policy by ensuring that subsoil wealth translates into development for the entire society. Our objective is to unlock responsible mining projects and promote competitiveness, adding value to national production based on social and environmental responsibility, stated Alexandre Silveira.
Silveira also highlighted that Brazil is structuring the Special Council for Critical and Strategic Minerals, aimed at ensuring sovereignty and national interest in the production of these resources and guiding strategic international partnerships. The initiative is aligned with the National Critical and Strategic Minerals Policy, which the government develops in partnership with the National Congress.
The Mining 2030 Commission meeting reflects growing global interest in minerals essential to the energy transition, such as copper, lithium, nickel, manganese and graphite. In this area, Brazil has been leading the way with strategic reserves and a commitment to sustainability.
