ICMM’s Annual Review 2006: Setting the standards to meet the challenge of sustainable development (available at http://www.reportalert.info/ra/ICMM280207.htm) describes some of the highlights of the past year.

Significant progress has been made in overcoming long term challenges such as ensuring continued supply through secure access to mineral deposits, demonstrating the social benefits of mining to host governments and communities, and ensuring that materials are consumed safely and sustainably.

Addressing these challenges informed all of ICMM’s work throughout 2006, highlights of which included:

  • Sustainable development: Independent third party assurance of sustainable development performance was introduced for all 15 ICMM member companies, representing a new international benchmark in transparency for an industry group.

  • Health and safety: ICMM hosted a conference on safety and health in Johannesburg focusing on sharing best-of-the-best experiences in some of the world’s most challenging occupational environments. The conference was attended by 300 senior industry representatives.

  • Socio-economic development: The Resource Endowment initiative findings were launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and later in the year World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz indicated his support for further joint action on the initiative.

  • Relationships: ICMM was granted observer status to the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights – one of only two industry bodies in this category – while ICMM President, Paul Mitchell, was appointed to the board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.

    ICMM hopes you find the report useful and would value any comments you have on the report itself or any of ICMM’s current activities.
