The work of ICMM consists in encouraging a responsible approach to the mining and use of metals.

Our members are committed to ICMM’s Sustainable Development Framework. Seven work programs and over 20 projects have been developed to support the implementation of the framework. Our work is conducted with the active participation of member companies, and in collaboration with relevant partners.
