The growing demand for responsibly sourced metals and minerals has led to a proliferation of standards that help companies demonstrate their commitment to responsible practices. However, this has also led to a complex and sometimes confusing landscape of standards for customers, communities, investors, and other stakeholders.
The Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative has brought together the four existing standards of ICMM, The Copper Mark (for which we are partners) , World Gold Council and Mining Association of Canada to help address this complexity and promote continual improvement of environmental, social and governance practices along individual metals’ value chains – from mining to smelting, refining and beyond.
Embracing responsible practices means adopting a full life-cycle approach to metals and minerals production that promotes positive contributions to society, addresses its impacts on people and the environment, and supports progress to a circular economy.
Congratulations to all those who have worked so hard to develop this new standard!

📢 Exciting News! The first public consultation for the consolidated mining standard is now open!
We invite all interested stakeholders to participate and share your views on the draft standard, governance model, assurance process, reporting and claims policy through our online consultation portal. Your feedback is imperative in helping to shape a standard and oversight system that serves the needs of stakeholders, sets a high bar for responsible mining and drives continuous improvement of environmental, social and governance practices throughout the value chain of individual metals and minerals.
The first public consultation will last 60 days, ending on 16 December 2024 and is available in 8 languages. https://lnkd.in/ewRp-D8P
