Global Industry Standard for Tailings Management (GISTM)

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Council for Mining & Metals (ICMM), United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI)

The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management strives for the ultimate goal of zero harm to people and the environment, with zero tolerance for human fatalities from incidences associated with tailings. It requires operators to take responsibility and prioritise the safety of tailings facilities, through all phases of a facility’s lifecycle, including closure and post-closure. It also requires the disclosure of relevant information to support public accountability.
