Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance
Multi-stakeholder governed, independent third-party verification against a comprehensive standard for all mined materials. The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)'s mission is to protect people and the environment directly affected by mining. IRMA's standard and audit system provides unprecedented transparency for mining operations, brings market recognition to mines demonstrating commitment to improving practices, and works to reduce impacts to the community and environment. IRMA is the answer to a global demand for more socially and environmentally responsible mining. We envision a world where the mining industry respects the human rights and aspirations of affected communities, provides safe, healthy and supportive workplaces, minimizes harm to the environment, and leaves positive legacies.
