Even among those committed to responsible practices—including all ICMM members—there is still work to do. Preventing fatalities, strengthening tailings management, embedding human rights due diligence, and supporting responsible mine closure remain critical challenges.
As we enter a new era for ICMM in 2025, we bring with us a blueprint for responsible mining, a sharper focus on driving sustainability performance, and a commitment to uniting stakeholders around a shared vision.
Our 2025–29 Strategy is built on three priorities:
Performance: Turning commitments into real-world impact, with a focus on safety, decarbonisation, nature, tailings, and social performance.
Standards: Delivering a Consolidated Mining Standard to provide a clear, universal framework for responsible mining.
Dialogue & Engagement: Bringing together diverse voices to build shared solutions and drive collective action.
Success will mean a mining industry that is safer, more responsible, and more collaborative—one with a lighter footprint, clear accountability, and greater trust. Read more about our ambitions for the next five years on ICMM’s website.
Ultimately, we cannot do this alone. We invite you to join us on this journey—whether by engaging in discussions, sharing insights, or working together to shape a more responsible future.
