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.

Visit the new Towards Sustainable Mining in Australia website here.
