Key Projects, Programs and Initiatives
Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Program Active
TSM is MAC’s commitment to responsible mining. It is a set of tools and indicators to drive performance and ensure that key mining risks are managed responsibly at MAC members’ facilities. The TSM initiative allows mining companies to turn high-level environmental and social commitments into action on the ground. At the same time, it provides communities with valuable information on how operations are faring in important areas, such as community outreach, tailings management and biodiversity.
Benefits
Enables mining companies to meet society’s needs for minerals, metals and energy products in the most socially, economically and environmentally responsible way.
Areas of focus
Aboriginal and community outreach, energy and GHG emissions management, tailings management, biodiversity, conservation management, safety and health, and crisis management and communications planning
