ERM CVS to Conduct On-site Audit of Anglo American’s Los Bronces
From IRMA approved independent auditor ERM CVS:
ERM CVS to Conduct On-site IRMA Assessment of Anglo American’s Los Bronces
ERM CVS Seeks Input from Local Community and Other Stakeholders
Today, 3 September 2025, ERM CVS announces that on 6-10 October 2025, auditors will visit the Anglo American’s Los Bronces mining operations, located in Chile’s Greater Santiago Metropolitan Region to conduct the onsite phase of its Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) assessment of the operation. ERM CVS is an independent, third-party audit firm approved by IRMA to conduct audits against the IRMA standard.
During the onsite visit, independent auditors from ERM CVS will inspect the operation and associated facilities and collect feedback from local stakeholders – anyone directly or indirectly affected by the mine including community members, mine workers, and government officials.
When the audit is finished, an IRMA assessment results in a public audit report released locally and published on the IRMA audit page. This report will describe how ERM CVS scored Los Bronces against each of the 400+ requirements of the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining, and why ERM CVS gave Los Bronces that score. The report will also assign an overall achievement level: IRMA Transparency, IRMA 50, IRMA 75, or IRMA 100.
Los Bronces can use this audit information to improve its practices. Other stakeholders, particularly affected communities and mine workers, may use this audit report to engage with the mine and others on a more equal footing to improve the operation in the ways that matter most to them.
