ICMM was founded in 2001, as a CEO-led leadership organization, on the premise of improving sustainable development in the mining and metals industry. In late 1998 a group of mining industry commissioned the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) research and report on sustainable development of the industry. They began the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD) to research the topic, including consulting more than 150 separate individuals and organizations on their perspectives. The resulting document was the Toronto Declaration, presented as a plan for improving mining and metals’ contribution to sustainable development. The treaty stated that the International Council on Mining and Metals should take over responsibilities from the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project. More information...
