International Council On Mining And Metals
ICMM was founded in 2001, as a CEO-led leadership organization, to improve sustainable development performance in the mining and metals industry. Sustainable Development In late 1998 a small group of mining industry CEOs came together to question how the sector could grow its contribution to sustainable development.

Over the course of two years, a team of IIED researchers reviewed existing initiatives and materials, and consulted more than 150 separate individuals and organisations to understand their views of how the minerals sector's contribution could be improved. This process came to be known as the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD). What emerged was an agenda for change that would enhance mining and metals’ con ...
