ICMM - International Council on Mining & Metals

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

The Sustainable Development Framework comprises three elements – a set of 10 Principles (including a set of supporting position statements), public reporting and independent assurance – each approved by our CEO-led Council. The Framework has been developed systematically since the formation of ICMM in 2001, with its foundations in the Mining, Minerals, and Sustainable Development (MMSD) project.

ICMM members have committed to the Sustainable Development Framework. In 2010, for the first time, ICMM conducted an assessment of the progress that each member company is making against these performance commitments. The result is a member performance table that lists the achievements of all 19 corporate members, which will be updated on an annual basis.
