More and more, companies and investors seemingly prefer OECD countries over other riskier jurisdictions. These countries are considered low risk (or even no risk) with respect to developing resource projects. But this may not be the case anymore, especially under the changing landscape of social license and regulatory approvals in these places. OECD countries often have other avenues of development that can provide the same economic benefit that mining can. The mining industry must become a better steward of how to create tangible value from resources and pass it on to local communities and stakeholders. If the industry does not do this, it will likely get harder to develop projects in these no-risk countries.
This week, we speak to Christian Jervelund, a partner with Copenhagen Economics, a management consultancy based in Denmark. Christian helps companies in the resources industry navigate the regulatory and government approvals process in Scandinavia and Europe and is seeing the changing landscape first hand. Maybe Christian's experience from the life sciences industry can teach us a few things.
