WORK PROGRAMS
Reporting and Assurance
In order to demonstrate that ICMM members are delivering on their sustainable development commitments, one of our goals is to facilitate the design and implementation of a robust and effective system of reporting and assurance. Our belief is that this will enhance external accountability and facilitate continuous performance improvement and learning.
Our members are committed to a Sustainable Development Framework, which has been developed over time since ICMM was founded in 2001. The framework consists of three elements – a set of 10 core principles supported by a commitment to public reporting and independent assurance.
In 2009, we provided training and support to members on implementing the ICMM assuranceprocedure. This was first released as a pilot in 2006, and in 2008 a strengthened final version was approved. Training will continue to be a focus of our work moving forward. Particular challenges include working with assurance providers to improve consistency in the application of the assurance procedure, and the extent of stakeholder engagement during the assurance process.
