In the evolving conversation around responsible sourcing, M2i Global (MTWO) has been quietly creating a global footprint — most recently through its combination with Volato Group (NYSE: SOAR), a move that pairs operational reach with purpose-driven ambition. At the nexus of strategy and storytelling stands Major General (Ret.) Alberto C. Rosende, CEO of M2i Global and voice behind the Minerals Metals Initiative (M2i) podcast ( @M2i.Global )— a platform that’s reshaping how the minerals and metals sector talks about sustainability, transparency, and long-term growth.
Spotlight on Episode Four
Now in its fourth episode, the Minerals Metals Initiative takes a bold step into the moral side of material supply with “People, Planet, and Supply Chain: Three Pillars for the Future of Minerals,” featuring Mark Wexler, Co-Founder and CEO of Not For Sale, a global organization devoted to ending modern-day slavery and human exploitation.
Exposing the Hidden Costs of Modern Supply
Wexler pulls no punches in outlining how human trafficking can seep into global supply chains — tracing uncomfortable parallels between humanitarian crises and the polished commodities powering the green economy. Drawing a vivid example from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he illustrates how improving mineral supply chains, even by a small margin, can trigger ripple effects that benefit both people and the planet.
Reforming the Chain, Redefining Value
The conversation lands squarely on the tension point that defines modern industry: how ethics, economics, and environmental imperatives intersect. Wexler’s economic rationalism pairs neatly with the Initiative’s pragmatic optimism. Strengthening one link in the supply chain, he argues, strengthens the whole — not just morally, but materially. It’s a thesis fit for a boardroom and a human rights forum alike.
Sustainability as Strategy
With each episode, M2i Global continues to reinforce that sustainability is more than a disclosure line item — it’s a durable growth strategy. Under the leadership of Major General (Ret.) Alberto C. Rosende, the company’s message resonates with investors and industry partners aligning with the next era of responsible resource development.
Tune In
Listeners can tune in to “People, Planet, and Supply Chain: Three Pillars for the Future of Minerals” across platforms including YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
Ethical sourcing may not be the next meme stock — but if Wexler and M2i’s team have their way, it could become the next great frontier of global value creation.
