Founded in 2006 , Women in Mining UK is an advocacy group that promotes the employment , retention , and progress of women in the mining industry . .
Leveraging partnerships with leading mining companies and other industry participants , WIM aims to push the business case for diversity , inclusion , and the economic advancement of women in the sector . One of its key initiatives is the biennial ‘ 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining ’.
Such initiatives are incredibly important with women filling less than one-fifth of leadership roles across global mining companies , according to a recently released S & P Global Market Intelligence analysis of executives and board members . They fill only about 12.9 percent of C-suite positions in Europe , while in the US and Canada , they occupy just 11.5 percent of C-suite roles . However , they are more likely to have better representation in executive roles more broadly , and on company boards .
Mining Global presents 10 women leaders in the global mining industry who are shaping the way the industry moves forward , while also providing inspiration to other women about the opportunities for success in this challenging and demanding sector .
All 10 women have been chosen from the 2020 edition of the ‘ 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining ’ list .
