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.

The ESG Coverage of a standard or regulation outlines the high and mid-level ESG topics that a standard or regulation covers, and at the highest level of analysis, specific binary statements that can be used to determine exactly what the requirements are. These statements are cross-standard compatible, allowing you to compare the exact coverage areas of multiple standards or regulations.
This data has been compiled and is continually updated by analysts at TDi Sustainability, and is backed by decades of standards analysis expertise.
