Digbee Limited CEO Jamie Strauss and Blackstone Minerals Ltd (ASX:BSX, OTCQX:BLSTF) CEO Scott Williamson joined Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion to discuss Blackstone’s latest ESG efforts and strategic expansion.
Williamson explained the role of Digbee’s assessments in guiding the junior miner’s ESG progress, noting that it’s a valuable tool for both internal reflection and external reporting to shareholders. “It’s all about progress and incremental small steps,” Williamson shared, adding that Digbee’s assessments allow Blackstone to effectively gauge and communicate ESG achievements.
Williamson also revealed Blackstone’s upcoming strategic shift, highlighting plans to expand into the Manitoba region, an addition to its ongoing work in Vietnam. This move, he explained, will leverage the Digbee assessment framework, helping the company apply consistent ESG standards across regions.
Strauss emphasised that a well-defined ESG strategy is essential in the mining sector, building credibility and trust among stakeholders.
