The Global Tailings Review provides a useful high level summary of the key topic areas, principles and auditable requirements of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).
The Conformance Protocols for the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management ( ‘the Conformance Protocols’) have been developed to support the integration of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (‘the Standard’) into ICMM’s existing assurance and validation processes for its member commitments. The Conformance Protocols support self-assessments and independent third party assessments of progress with implementing the Standard. While the primary audience is ICMM members and the independent consultants they engage with to assess conformance, it can also be applied by non-members.
