The Role of R&D in the Resource Sector: Innovation as Survival

In an industry often seen as slow to change, research and development can create meaningful breakthroughs. Whether it's low-impact mining techniques, bio-based fertilizers, or water-efficient irrigation, R&D enables sustainable transformation.

Investing in research ensures companies remain competitive as global policies tighten, customer values shift, and alternative resources emerge. It also enables upstream innovation, from exploration methods to advanced recycling. Without continuous innovation, even the largest players risk obsolescence in a world demanding accountability and agility.
