ICMM Demonstrates Leadership Through Engagement and Strategic Partnerships
(CSRwire) Our 2005 annual review is published highlighting the organization's
significant achievements throughout the year. The report records how our
activities provide a benchmark for sustainable development performance in
the mining and metals sector. A full copy of the annual review is
available at our website (www.icmm.com)
or can be obtained via the media contact recorded below.
2005 highlights include:
Transparency. The ICMM Council committed to reporting on the
10 Principles of sustainable development in accordance with the Global
Reporting Initiative Guidelines and became the first industry body to
commit to this level of public accountability and transparency.
Environment. We published Financial Assurance for Mine
Closure and Reclamation. Environmental Financial Assurance (EFA)
Measures provide a guarantee to governments and communities that adequate
resources will be available to meet the cost of mine closure.
Socio-economic development. We published the Community
Development Toolkit which is designed to support socio-economic
development at a local level by demonstrating how mining and mineral
processing activities can contribute to sustainable community
development.
Materials Stewardship. The core elements of ICMM's chemical
management policies were recognized and supported by the UN Preparatory
Committee for the development of a Strategic Approach to International
Chemicals Management (SAICM).
