Despite the challenges posed by a saturated Energy and Critical Minerals month in August, the Mines and Environment Net Zero Perth Conference, held at the Ritz-Carlton on 22nd and 23rd August, was an outstanding success.
The event featured a diverse lineup of speakers and drew attendees from major organizations like BHP, Rio Tinto, Fortescue Metals, Mineral Resources, JBS&G, Western Power, and Local Councils. Many participants left better informed, connected, and educated.
Our goal to unite climate change leaders, sustainability managers, decarbonisation engineers, and energy and environmental representatives was fully achieved, fostering meaningful learning and collaboration on the journey to net zero.
We extend our Special thanks to the WA Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Action, Hon. Reece Whitby, and our sponsors, MCC Sustainable Future’s Gillian Goby and Nadia Aurisch and all Speakers who contributed to the success of the event
