EY says the centre’s integrated, business-led and technology-enabled approach will support mining and metals’ companies’ growth in four key areas: technical expertise, digital transformation, operations management, and decarbonization and ESG.
“Post-covid-19 investments in infrastructure, combined with demand to sustain the energy transition, will drive significant growth in the mining and metals sector over the next three to five years,” Yameogo said in a news release.
“But capitalizing on these opportunities is going to require a major pivot — and we want to be there to support companies as they navigate the path forward. While working cross-collaboratively with our colleagues in the Americas to combine our business and technical expertise with emerging technologies, the Centre will ground us under one unified vision to help companies drive meaningful and long-term growth.”
The centre will be powered by the EY wavespace concept, which aims to help clients solve business problems using collaboration and new technology.
Following the opening of the first Americas Mining and Metals Centre of Excellence in Canada, EY plans to open a second location in Latin America later this year.
