You will now be kept up-to-date with the latest industry news, invitations to events and special-offers.
While we understand the impact of exhibitions on the environment, our goal is to create memorable experiences that not only inspire but also respect and preserve our planet for future generations.
We continue to review and update our sustainability policies to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of sustainable exhibition practices.
An embodiment of this commitment is our choice of venue, the Business Design Centre (BDC) London, which proudly holds a B Corp Certification. This certification underscores the venue's adherence to high standards of performance, accountability, and transparency across various domains, including employee benefits, charitable initiatives, and environmental improvements.

Resourcing Tomorrow has embraced a paperless approach for our Conference Program. Instead of printing copies, attendees can conveniently access all the necessary information through their smartphones. Any updates or changes to the schedule are promptly reflected in the digital program, ensuring attendees have real-time access to the most current information.
The most recent event achieved a 26% reduction in waste compared to the previous year. The BDC’s 'donate not waste project' further enhances waste reduction by diverting reusable items, such as furniture and food, ensuring they serve another purpose. For example, 60 surplus lunches were donated from the event.
To mitigate transportation impacts, the BDC uses local suppliers, typically based at the venue, to meet Resourcing Tomorrow requirements. This significantly reduces unnecessary travel and minimises carbon emissions. Staff travel is now measured, and we are exploring how to extend this practice to take into account the travel and modes of transport used by our suppliers. While this is a work in progress, we are committed to evaluating and offsetting our transportation impact wherever possible.
Since October 2019, the BDC has transitioned to 100% renewable energy sources, a policy that now also applies to their kitchens, which use entirely induction appliances. The venue also exclusively uses low-energy lighting throughout, with motion sensors installed in several key areas to further reduce energy consumption.
Efforts to reduce water waste include the installation of automatic Dyson Airblade taps and automatic flush systems in all toilets, optimizing water usage and minimising environmental impact.
The BDC is fully carpeted, eliminating the need for temporary carpets during the event. This approach saves 6,027.9 sqm of flooring, while the carpet tiles themselves are made from recycled fishing nets, reducing environmental impact further.
Resourcing Tomorrow is firmly grounded in the principles of the Balance for Better Programme, showcasing the vital contributions and achievements of women in mining while highlighting the mining industry’s progress towards greater gender balance, diversity, and inclusion.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion in mining are at the heart of the event. These values are reflected throughout the programme, from technical presentations and industry insights to plenary sessions and the respected Resourcing Tomorrow Outstanding Achievement Awards. More than 100 speakers representing women and historically underrepresented groups across financial, technical, operational, and leadership roles will feature at the event, underlining the industry-wide benefits of a more inclusive approach to mining.
Resourcing Tomorrow provides a truly inclusive platform that welcomes people from every background and stage of their career. It is committed to creating meaningful opportunities for connection, learning, and advancement across the global mining industry.
The NextGen Programme returns in 2026 with an expanded lineup and increased participation from leading global universities, strengthening the future talent pipeline and reinforcing Resourcing Tomorrow as the global forum where the world’s mining leaders meet. More than 150 students are expected to join the programme this year, supported by key industry organisations including the Mining Association UK and Women in Mining UK. The conference will feature dedicated student panel sessions and a focused networking event exclusively for students and employers across the mining value chain, helping to connect the next generation with real mining career opportunities.
Participants aligned with our Balance for Better initiatives are already embedded within Resourcing Tomorrow, playing an essential role in shaping the conversation on inclusive growth and the future of mining.
