International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM)

On this International Day of Women in Mining, let’s tap into the strength, ingenuity, and leadership of women across the sector.

As a woman-owned business, Blue Heron Environmental is proud to “Celebrate the professional women who have been, who are, and who will be part of mining.”

Why is it important for women to lead mining companies? Because diversity at the top isn’t just a goal — it’s a proven strategy for better performance, innovation, and resilience.

“There are three steps: getting women to the door, getting them in the door, and getting them to stay. Women are leaving because they feel like they cannot advance. Although it’s easy to feel lost in a sea of blue, gray, and black suits, we cannot give up.”

Mining needs diversity to thrive — especially as we face growing demands for sustainability, safety, and skilled talent. Let’s build an industry where women don’t just enter — they lead.
