Dear Friend,
Thank you for your interest in being kept informed of the progress of the Consolidated Mining Standard Initiative. I am pleased to share this first update with you.
Earlier this month, the Partners and members of the Stakeholder Advisory Group and Industry Advisory Group came together in New York. It was a very productive couple of days of constructively challenging conversations focused on advancing the design of the assurance process for the standard, the principles for a multistakeholder governance model, and working through feedback on the ambition and requirements of the 24 performance areas within the draft consolidated standard.
