Mascom Champions Gender Diversity at Women in Mining Conference 2025

Mascom Champions Gender Diversity at Women in Mining Conference 2025. Mascom took an active role in the opening day of the Women in Mining Conference 2025, a leading platform celebrating the contributions of women to the mining industry and promoting a more inclusive future for the sector.

The conference offered industry leaders, policymakers, and professionals a space to discuss strategies for empowering women across mining operations. A highlight for Mascom was seeing its Customer Experience Head, Wame Dubani, featured as a panelist in the session Leadership Unfiltered – Women Who Lead. Dubani shared practical insights on fostering inclusive workplaces, stressing that policies, safety, and clear career pathways are essential for enabling women to not only enter but thrive in the mining industry.

She emphasized the importance of measurable targets for women’s representation in leadership and technical roles, urging companies across Africa to approach diversity as a strategic business advantage rather than a compliance obligation. Dubani’s perspective reinforced the conference’s broader goal of advancing equity while demonstrating the tangible benefits of inclusive practices.

Mascom’s sponsorship and participation underscore its commitment to driving progress and creating opportunities for women in sectors historically dominated by men. By supporting initiatives like the Women in Mining Conference, the company aligns its corporate strategy with wider goals of workforce diversity, leadership development, and social impact.

For Botswana’s business community, the conference highlights the growing recognition that gender diversity and inclusive policies are not just social imperatives but also key drivers of organizational performance and innovation.
