51° Natural Resources

We engage experts from across the commodity value chain in multi-stakeholder dialogue to drive more responsible natural resource markets and create positive impact.

Mission to transform

Natural resources, such as energy, metals and food markets, play a vital role in driving economic activity, ensuring human survival and promoting overall societal prosperity. As a centre of competence, our mission is to support the transformation towards a more responsible use and production of natural resources, in line with the SDGs, and to promote sustainable practices across the entire commodity value chain.
