Amid growing geopolitical risks\, energy transition demands and industrial policy shifts\, securing critical minerals and harn essing a competitive advantage is a top priority.As governments and indust ry move from strategy to action on resilient supply chains\, the need for internationally aligned and technically robust standards has never been gr eater.Join BSI and expert guests for a forward-looking discussion on how t he UK can support global standards development for sustainable\, circular\ , and transparent critical material supply chains.The session will:Explore how standards underpin the delivery of the UK’s updated Critical Minera ls Strategy and the G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan.Examine international developments across the G20 and ISO.Identify gaps where new or revised st andards are needed.Share best practices to streamline standardization effo rts.There will be time for a Q&\;A during the event.
