On International Day of Women in Mining tomorrow we pay tribute to an exceptional woman and leader in the industry, Rebecca Bweupe–Siwale, our dear colleague and friend who tragically passed away last week.    A passionate metallurgist, Rebecca was an inspirational role model who advocated relentlessly for more women in this industry. She was recognised for this work in 2023 by Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) and was included in their list of “100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining”.    Rebecca’s extensive mining career began in copper mines in her home country of Zambia where she experienced first-hand how innovative technologies and a skilled workforce can make a difference on the ground.  She later pursued an international career in the U.S. When Rebecca joined FLS 12 years ago, she brought with her an invaluable skillset and touched the lives of so many with her leadership, expertise and kindness.     We are left with fond memories and a sense of gratitude that we had the opportunity to know and work with Rebecca. We will do our part to carry her legacy forward, contributing to the innovative and inclusive mining community she worked tirelessly to build.   Our thoughts are with her family, especially her three daughters who were the joy of her life. 

How to align successful global teams: This was the focus yesterday when we hosted AmCham Denmark’s Leadership Mentoring Program for a breakfast workshop at our HQ in Valby. Participants gained valuable insights from our own Joshua Meyer, President of the Service Business Line, who shared his extensive experience and unique leadership journey. He emphasized the importance of understanding cultural differences with his mantra: “It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s just DIFFERENT.” This approach helps navigate the complexities of leading in diverse global environments. Henry Zinglersen, CEO at Mindlab Global Solutions, also contributed with real-life scenarios that highlighted the significance of recognizing and understanding cultural and personal differences within teams, especially post-global M&A. A heartfelt thank you to our speakers for their enlightening presentations, and to everyone who attended.

On Monday, May 29, FLS celebrated the start-up of a new production line at our partner foundry in Peru.    Fundición Chilca S.A. - FUCSA (Página Oficial) is expanding their state-of-the-art facilities to support FLS' production capacity. With this new production line, we have expanded our capabilities in mill lining to help meet the growing demand of the mining industry.  Special thank you to all those who were involved in the opening event, and we look forward to enabling successful customer operations with this new production line. #FLS #Mining #MillLiners #Foundry

An exciting visit from Grenoble Ecole de Management!   We were delighted to host a group of bright students from Grenoble Ecole de Management, organized by the French Embassy in Denmark. The main objective of their visit was to explore Copenhagen's innovation ecosystem and engage with key players in this renowned technology cluster.   During their visit, we had the opportunity to showcase FLS' role in the rapidly growing mining industry and how we challenge the status quo with our innovative solutions focused on sustainability, safety, and efficiency. We highlighted our MissionZero flowsheet, a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainable practices.   Thank you to the students for engaging in meaningful discussions about the future of mining, and a special thanks to the French Embassy for facilitating this inspiring visit.   If you’re interested in learning more about the industry and how FLS is driving innovation with a focus on sustainability, please feel free to reach out to us. We’re always eager to connect and share insights.   #Education #Students #Innovation #FLS #FutureOfMining #GrenobleEcoleDeManagement

This week, we recognize International Biodiversity Day 🌿 and World Environment Day 🌍, each focused on taking care of the world around us and aligned with our strong commitment to sustainability. The theme for the International Day for Biological Diversity in 2024 is “Be part of the Plan” emphasizing the collective effort required to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity while world environment day focuses this year on accelerating land restoration and drought resilience. On this occasion we want to put the spotlight on ICMM and its members’ work to contribute to a nature positive future that promotes the health, diversity and resilience of species, ecosystems and natural processes. The mining industry exists because of nature. And while minerals and metals are key to meet the SDGs, this cannot be at the expense of nature. As rightly put by Hayley Zipp from ICMM: "We’re an industry with negative and positive impact, let’s maximise the positive!".
