WHAT IS TOWARDS  
SUSTAINABLE MINING?
Towards Sustainable Mining™ (TSM) is an award-winning commitment to responsible mining.  
The program was established in 2004 and its main objective is to enable mining companies to meet 
society’s needs for minerals, metals and energy products in the most socially, economically and 
environmentally responsible way.
MINING IS 
ESSENTIAL
From the metals needed to power 
our transportation to the materials 
required to make communication 
possible, it is impossible to 
imagine a reality without it. 
THE FUTURE 
NEEDS MINING
Mining is essential in our transition 
to a low carbon economy, one 
that requires mined minerals and 
metals to be fully realised.
RESPONSIBLE 
MANAGEMENT
It is important that standards be 
in place to ensure that the process 
of mining is being managed 
responsibly from  
start to finish.
COMMUNITY 
ENGAGEMENT
Today, communities expect more 
from mining companies and the 
industry expects much more of 
itself.
HOW DOES TSM WORK?
TSM provides a set of tools and indicators that drive 
performance and ensures that key mining risks are  
managed responsibly at participating mining and 
metallurgical facilities. To translate commitments into  
action on the ground, TSM’s eight performance protocols 
focus on three core areas: Communities and People, 
Environmental Stewardship and Energy Efficiency.
Each protocol is made up of a set of indicators that help mining  
facilities build, measure and publicly report on the quality of their 
management systems and their performance in key areas of mining 
activity.
One of the key strengths of TSM is that mining companies are 
measuring where the mining activity actually takes place - at the  
facility level. The results provide local communities with a  
meaningful view of how a nearby mine is faring.
