LONDON, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Partners of the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative (CMSI) – The Copper Mark, ICMM, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) and the World Gold Council (WGC) – are pleased to announce the final public consultation for the Consolidated Standard, Assurance Process and Claims Policy will run from 8 October to 17 November 2025.

 

 

The Consolidated Standard combines the best of four existing standards into one comprehensive and practical standard supported by a robust Assurance Process and Claims Policy, reducing complexity in the standards landscape and increasing adoption among companies seeking to follow a credible global benchmark. 

 The final public consultation for the Consolidated Standard, Assurance Process and Claims Policy will enable all interested stakeholders and rights-holders operating in the mining industry and value chain, and all those affected by mining activities, to review and provide feedback before the documents are finalised.

The Partners will undertake engagement activities during the final public consultation, including virtual public webinars across different time zones; direct briefings to a wide range of stakeholders and rights-holders, including CSOs, government representatives and policymakers; and dedicated engagements with Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Peoples' organisations. 

Through this extensive engagement and consultation process, stakeholders, and rights-holders from around the world are invited to collaborate in shaping a Standard that will help drive positive outcomes for both people and the environment along individual metals' value chains – from mining to smelting, refining and beyond. Stakeholders are encouraged to 'have their say' and help shape the future of mining.
