Creating Certainty in a World of Change

Certainty is often called for, but what does it really mean in practice? And how can it be built into systems defined by complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change?

As global mineral value chains face growing pressure from geopolitical shifts, climate risks, technological transformation, and evolving societal expectations, the 2026 Responsible Raw Materials conference will explore how certainty can be created, strengthened, and sustained from the perspective of resilience and responsibility. We will examine how certainty is experienced differently by governments, industry, investors, workers, and communities; and what it takes to align these perspectives in ways that support reliable supply, responsible practice, and long-term shared value.

From Responsibility to Certainty

Following previous editions on Responsibility, the ESG Toolbox, the Just Transition, the Criticality of Trust, Critical Choices, and Collaboration - Charting Success Together, this seventh Responsible Raw Materials online conference brings the focus to certainty itself - how it is built, who benefits from it, and what happens when it is absent.

Through expert talks, case studies, and facilitated discussions, RRM 2026 will highlight practical experiences from across disciplines and regions, moving beyond abstract debate and toward actionable insights for creating certainty in a changing world.
