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.

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/suppo…

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/positionstat…
