How IRMA Benefits Governments and Policymakers
A new resource for the governments and policymakers is now available.
The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) seeks to be a collaborative partner with governments. Government actors, from intergovernmental bodies to tribal governments and national and subnational government bodies, are key partners in accomplishing IRMA’s mission and vision for responsible mining. IRMA complements, but can never replace, the important role of governments to create and implement robust laws and regulations.
Governments, policymakers, and advocates use the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining, based on over a decade of global multi-stakeholder dialogue, as a benchmark for internationally recognized best practices and the IRMA system as an avenue to provide market recognition for responsible actors. Governments and policymakers increasingly work with IRMA to incentivize responsible supply chains and enhance trade competitiveness.
