Friday 12 November 2021 from 12pm to 1pm

It has been six years since the collapse of the Fundão dam, an incident described as the world’s biggest environmental disaster in the world mining industry and in Brazilian history – but what has happened after?

The company and its senior management were given a clear mandate: safely stabilise the dams, rebuild the communities, remediate the rivers, engage with the communities and governments, and rebuild Samarco operations.

Join Bryan Quinn, the former President Brazil for BHP and Chairman of Samarco, who was appointed immediately after the Fundão failure, in a discussion about the challenges they faced after this period.

Learn about how risk management fundamentals were used to ensure all the works were completed safely to prevent further social and environmental issues.

Sharing his learnings and knowledge with future industry leaders, Bryan will delve into the importance of having a clear mission and strategy, picking the right capability team members, risk management, use of technology, leadership support, and most importantly, engaging with the communities who were directly impacted by this incident.
