ICMM
The UN’s Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) is promoting further regulation and customer-driven market restrictions at the global, regional and national level.
The resultant need to prove that a material is safe to market and use means that both industry and regulators require well designed and workable policies and assessment methods. Importantly for our members, and their customers, these must be tailored to reflect the specific nature of minerals and metals.
ICMM is focusing on four key areas:
- Working with key stakeholders in the development of chemicals management policies at the global level and
- Coordinating cross-commodity industry development of metals specific hazard/risk assessment and management tools and promotion among industry and regulators
- Fostering partnerships to ensure that our companies and our supply chain have the capacity to implement the tools and concepts developed.
- Providing a robust and accessible base of information to ensure a sound, science-based approach to corporate and regulatory decision making
