ERM CVS provides sector-specific assessment and certification services that help organizations meet evolving regulatory and stakeholder demands. We enable clients to identify risks and opportunities in their management systems and achieve independent certification based on international standards.
To meet stakeholder expectations on a global scale, organizations increasingly need to demonstrate responsible practices and performance goals that align with multiple sets of internal standards, external frameworks and international regulations.
In a world where transparency, trust and credibility play a paramount role in a brand’s reputation, sector-specific certifications help organizations to safeguard competitive advantage and their license to operate.
Mining sector clients are increasingly pressured by evolving regulations, specific performance standards, industry benchmarks, and rising expectations from downstream buyers, local communities, investors, labor unions, and NGOs.
Sector-specific certifications enable organizations to demonstrate they are following best practices that help to reduce operational and environmental risks, improve quality control and enhance overall sustainability performance.
IRMA is a voluntary Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance which aims to increase transparency and improve the environmental and social performance of mining operations.
ERM CVS provides independent, third-party assessments against IRMA’s comprehensive, internationally recognized Standard of Responsible Mining applicable to all sized of industrial mines around the world, covering all mined materials except for energy fuels.
Results of IRMA assessments are publicly available on the IRMA website (https://responsiblemining.net/), allowing interested parties to understand how the mine scored against each of the over 400 requirements of the IRMA standard, covering topics such as legal compliance, occupational health and safety, human rights, water and waste management, as well as the overall achievement level of the mine.
For more information about the IRMA Standard and the assessment process, please visit the IRMA website here: https://responsiblemining.net/what-we-do/assessment/
