Norsk Bergindustri, the national mining association in Norway, on Monday announced that it would adopt the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative, a corporate social responsibility programme developed by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) to improve environmental and social practices in the mining industry.
Norsk Bergindustri joins seven other mining associations around the world, including the third in Europe and the second in Scandinavia after FinnMin, in adopting TSM.
Norsk Bergindustri, with MAC’s support, will tailor TSM’s performance areas to reflect the unique aspects of its domestic mining sector and commits to TSM implementation over the next five years.
