Mr. Dramé and two collaborators went to the round table on “L’écoparc industriel, par la Fondation pour les Terrains Industriels” on the booth of the House of Industrial Ecology. This presentation, followed by a discussion between the guests and the speaker, led to interesting exchanges around the theme of industrial ecoparks and the energy transition. The public came from different professional backgrounds which could give an interaction focused on questions, contributions as well as concerns related to the issues of these different environments. An artist depicted with small drawings BD types the main guidelines of exchanges.

This roundtable is part of a series of conferences related to its “Finding Sustainable Solutions for Gold Production and Commercialization” program. For this purpose, a master thesis entitled “The gold market, sustainable development as a common vision? Was made at the University of Geneva
Summary of the Round table
From the mine to the bullion and the watch, the gold market involves a large number of players including miners, refiners, banks and jewelers. Faced with the challenges of the gold market, new international standards are emerging causing the evolution of the practices of the players in the gold sector towards a more “sustainable” / responsible production, respectful of principles such as those of transparency, human rights and the environment. If sustainability is the shared vision in the gold market, to what degree is coordination? This two-hour public lecture will expose the current state of the gold market, its issues, solutions and perspectives. Starting from the extraction phase at the mining level, the presentation will focus successively on the stages of processing by refineries and jewelers, and that of investment and sustainable finance. For each step, an intervenor will share his / her point of view on the issues and the associated solutions. A short discussion will close the Round Table.

Summary of the debate
Industrial ecology and the circular economy are today posing solutions for the efficient use of resources, while respecting the regenerative capacity of the planet. Their implementation is however not easy in the current economic context.
