ICMM

ICMM has decided to step back from X to focus on other platforms. You can continue to follow our work and updates on LinkedIn and Instagram. Thank you for your support on X—we look forward to staying connected!

Most things needed for a sustainable future – wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles – are metal intensive. Reaching net zero by 2050 will require an estimated 3 billion tonnes of metals to support the clean energy transition. To meet demand while staying on track with the world’s sustainable development goals, we need to embrace circularity—focusing on both the production and use of metals.

Today, recognising the vital role human rights defenders play in promoting and protecting human rights, ICMM has strengthened its member commitments to include defenders explicitly in companies’ due diligence, stakeholder engagement, and security processes. To further support companies in doing so and to build awareness of the right to a clean, health and sustainable environment, ICMM has also launched three new human rights due diligence tools.

Increasing the circularity of mining and metals value chains will help us to sustainably and responsibly meet the growing demand for metals to support the energy transition In September, ICMM launched its new Tools for Circularity to help mining and metals companies minimise waste and maximise value throughout every stage of the life cycle, from sourcing, to production, to use and recovery.

As an industry, we take to heart our responsibility for stewarding this precious, shared natural resource, ensuring that our use is socially equitable and environmentally sustainable. ICMM’s Water Stewardship Maturity Framework presents leading practices and real-world examples to help mining and metals companies advance their management of water.

ICMM members have made progress in reducing Scope 2 emission by increasing renewable energy use at mines worldwide, with now some mines fully powered by renewables—helping drive clean energy growth across regions and countries. Since the Paris Agreement, our members have also launched over 70 initiatives to reduce Scope 3 emissions. These efforts range from investing in cleaner steelmaking technologies and reducing emissions in ore shipping to creating low-emission products like iron briquettes.

Over the next 10 days, policymakers, civil society, and businesses will gather at COP29 to keep pushing towards a 1.5C future🌡️ Mining has a clear role to play, but not at any cost. Discover how ICMM is engaging at COP29 to drive meaningful progress: icmm.com/en-gb/events/2…

At #COP16, leaders came together to bring the biodiversity framework to life. ICMM members have committed to supporting a nature positive future by: 1️⃣ Driving biodiversity action across operations & beyond. 2️⃣ Strengthening industry standards through the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative. 3️⃣ Advocating for stronger protections for World Heritage Sites and high standards across all mining. Together, we can accelerate progress🔗 Nature.ICMM.com

Responsibly sourced metals and minerals are essential to creating the sustainable cities the global population needs. On #WorldCitiesDay, find out how mining can contribute to safe, modern cities with a reduced environmental impact: icmm.com/en-gb/ourwork/…

ICMM is hosting an event in partnership with @inst_humboldt , @acmineriacol and the @theminingstory at #COP16 to explore the intricate and multifaceted relationship between biodiversity and mining 🌱 ICMM’s Co-Chief Operating Officer Aidan Davy will join Alicia Lozano Vila, @brigittelgb and @GrattonPierre tomorrow in Cali, Colombia, to speak to the mining and metal industry’s crucial role in addressing biodiversity loss and protecting nature, and how ongoing work to consolidate mining standards can help to accelerate nature positive approaches across the industry. The session will be live-streamed on YouTube on October 30th, from 08:30 to 12:00 (Colombian Standard Time): lnkd.in/ewUwsrZt

Demand for nature services is growing, while nature is declining. Meeting demand for essential materials must not come at any cost. Minimising impacts requires planning & collaboration. In January, ICMM members committed to work for a nature positive future. nature.icmm.com/positionstatem…

The countdown to COP29 has begun, and the ICMM team is preparing to join the discussions in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Addressing nature loss requires the full, ongoing participation of Indigenous Peoples. In August, ICMM members reaffirmed their commitment to respect their rights at every step through an updated position statement. Learn more here: icmm.com/en-gb/ourprinc…

Today marks the first day of COP16, the first since the adoption of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Over the next two weeks we will be joining governments, civil society and businesses to help make #peacewithnature. Find out more about ICMM’s participation in COP16: icmm.com/en-gb/events/2…

A simpler standards landscape that raises the bar for responsible mining is something we can all support. Share your feedback on CMSI's draft Standard & oversight system to help deliver better outcomes for us all. The consultation is open until 16 Dec: miningstandardinitiative.org/consultation/
