In this episode, hosts Graeme Codrington and Dean Van Leeuwen from TomorrowToday Consulting, are joined by Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye Stillwater to discuss the future of green mining and the transformation the industry is undergoing in its drive for environmental responsibility.

Neal shares insights into the technologies and processes Sibanye Stillwater is investing in to minimise its environmental impact, and the role they are playing in developing clean air initiatives and production of green metals, essential for a sustainable future. Neal highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by the mining industry, and shares the strategies Sibanye Stillwater has adopted to enhance resilience and competitiveness in the face of shifting global trends.

Neal is retiring in September 2025 after a career spanning nearly 40 years. His legacy of driving strategic change and fostering a culture of innovation and sustainability within the mining industry will live on.

As usual, we open the episode by unpacking stories from around the globe which are impacting the 7 Grey Elephants with the question - can crises actually serve as catalysts for opportunity?

Hear how businesses and young adults are navigating the shifting landscape as economic pressures reshape societal norms. We explore the growing trend of young adults living at home longer, driven by cultural influences and the rising cost of housing, and how these changes are intricately tied to broader issues like an aging population and inequality. This phenomenon affects over half of 18 to 28 year olds globally, and it's reshaping how businesses approach the workforce and consumer bases.

We also highlight how regulatory and political factors impact housing availability and the evolving societal perceptions of life stages. As tensions rise, we draw parallels between modern climate activism challenges and historical movements, highlighting the necessity for significant shifts in climate policies and the treatment of immigrants and refugees.
