International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)

ICMM's Mining Principles define the good practice environmental, social and governance requirements of company members through a comprehensive set of 39 Performance Expectations and 9 related position statements on a number of critical industry challenges. Implementation of the Mining Principles will support progress towards the global targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Incorporating robust site-level validation of performance expectations and credible assurance of corporate sustainability reports, ICMM’s Mining Principles seek to maximise the industry’s benefits to host communities, while minimising negative impacts to effectively manage issues of concern to society.
