New ICMM Publication: ICMM Annual Review 2004 Released
(CSRwire) 2004 was a year of significant progress for ICMM. Our annual review
presents our key achievements and shows how we have been implementing our
sustainable development principles.
"We made some important strides in 2004, not least in the consolidation of
our organisational priorities, work programme, and partnerships. Our work
is becoming more widely recognised by governments, investors and
commentators alike. This recognition is essential to encourage industry
leaders to make the necessary investments to reap the rewards of
sustainable development," said ICMM's Secretary General Paul Mitchell.
Some review highlights include:
Working with the Global Reporting Initiative, we produced a mining
and metals sector reporting supplement. Our members agreed to report in
accordance with the GRI's framework, and, as a result, we are now the
largest industry group meeting their requirements.
We advanced two projects aiming to enhance our members' social and
economic contributions to the countries where they operate. These are the
Resource Endowment initiative and our Community Development Tools project,
which look at issues at the national, regional and local level.
We have strengthened our collaboration with stakeholders, which is an
essential part of our mission. We extended our dialogue with IUCN - The
World Conservation Union to advance our work in biodiversity. We also
established partnerships with the International Commission on Large Dams,
the International Labour Organization, and the international trade union
movement, ICEM.
We made good progress in preparing good practice guidance on
biodiversity and materials stewardship, and in health and safety.
We launched a website on good practice in mining with two UN
agencies, UNEP and UNCTAD, and the UK Department for International
Development,
