What they argued
Upholding high-level multi-stakeholder governed environmental and social standards for the mining sector, like those in the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) Standard for Responsible Mining, is essential to the EUs objectives of ensuring security of critical raw materials (CRMs) supply and a just and green energy transition.
The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance is tracking development of sector-specific European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for the mining sector under EFRAG and their proposed delay. We urge the European Commission to adopt a robust standard for the mining sector paired with independent third-party auditing and transparent reporting, without delay.
