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 ICMM Sustainable Development Framework.
