Proactive’s Tylah Tully sits down with Element 25 Ltd (ASX:E25) managing director Justin Brown and Digbee Limited founder and CEO Jamie Strauss to talk through the impact of Digbee's independent ESG assessment on Element 25's operations. Brown highlighted how the assessment benefited the company by providing clear guidelines for internal and external stakeholders, such as financiers, employees and offtake partners, all eager for ethically sourced raw materials. Brown explained, “The Digbee framework gives us a clear, independent benchmark of where we are in our ESG journey,” and shared that the tool helped guide critical decisions, including incorporating ESG goals into executive incentive plans. Element 25 is actively implementing these insights, including reducing the environmental footprint at its Butcherbird Manganese Mine. Strauss added that Element 25's transparent reporting, guided by Digbee, ensured a more meaningful connection with stakeholders, particularly with younger generations like millennials and Gen X. By emphasizing sustainability, the company can engage more deeply with the communities they operate in, contributing to a sustainable supply chain for critical minerals. #ProactiveInvestors #ASX #Element25 #DigbeeLimited #ESG #SustainableMining #CriticalMinerals #ElectricVehicles #EthicalSourcing #MiningIndustry #ESGAssessment #ButcherbirdMine #Manganese
