In highly regulated industries like mining, compliance often feels like a barrier to innovation. But when governance is built into design, it becomes a catalyst for creativity.
Carla de Abreu, Senior Portfolio Manager at Dariel , says that by bridging structure and imagination, compliance is transformed into an enabler of progress: Compliance can be a significant change agent when approached strategically, as opposed to just a 'box-ticking' exercise. While often viewed as a necessary cost or a potential barrier to innovation, adherence to regulations and ethical standards ultimately provides a stable and trustworthy foundation for sustainable growth.
While compliance and creativity are often seen as opposites especially in industries governed by strict regulation, de Abreu says that it is entirely possible to change this perception.
