Towards Sustainable Mining

The Australian minerals industry has adopted Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), a globally recognised accountability framework which supports minerals companies evaluate, manage and communicate their site-level sustainability performance.

Adopting the independently verified system reinforces the sector’s commitment to continual improvement in safety, environmental and social governance (ESG).

TSM strengthens Enduring Value – the Australian minerals industry’s sustainable development framework – by providing a consistent approach to assess and communicate site level performance in a transparent and accountable way.

Understanding and communicating this performance consistently and transparently benefits local communities, government, investors, companies and customers, enhance trust and confidence in the industry’s management performance.
