#147 – Navigating the Transition: The role of the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) in Sustainable Mining Practices

Written by:

Luke Stephens | Executive Consultant & Social Specialist

This edition provides insight into the adoption of the IRMA Standard into the mining industry, and how mining operations are undergoing assessment to be prepared for the increased demand of transition metals. This standard was developed as a response to global calls for more ethical and sustainable mining practices whilst miners produce the critical minerals necessary for a low-carbon future.
