SUMEX
(Sustainable Management in EXtractive Industries – a three-year project funded by the European Commission) announced the release of a report describing the sustainability aspects that should be considered for the European extractive industry in the fields of carbon neutrality and circular economy.
The organization noted, “the project suggests one common standard to describe what responsible extraction should mean in the EU and suggests to use the IRMA Standard to describe the criteria that a responsible extractive operation should fulfill today.”
