What is the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)?
The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance(IRMA) is an international benchmarking standard that independently assesses social, environmental and governance (ESG) responsibility in industrial mining.
Its objective is to ensure that mining operations are managed ethically, transparently and with a commitment to sustainable development.
Why is IRMA relevant to your company?
Leading companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla have already integrated IRMA into their mining traceability requirements. In an increasingly regulated and monitored environment, aligning with IRMA makes it possible:
- Access to international markets and customers.
- Improved reputation and investor confidence.
- Reduction of legal and social risks.
- Evidence of a real commitment to ESG criteria.

The pillars of the IRMA Standard
IRMA is based on four fundamental principles that cover all key areas of responsible mining:
- Business integrity: anti-corruption, financial transparency and ethical conduct.
- Social responsibility: protection of human, labor and local community rights.
- Environmental responsibility: control of emissions, biodiversity, water use and waste.
- Closure planning: managing social and environmental legacies after mine closure.
Practical benefits of aligning with IRMA
Adopting the IRMA standard is not just a statement of principle, it is a tangible competitive advantage:
- Differentiation from the competition.
- Improved positioning vis-à-vis funders and stakeholders.
- Reduction of community and socio-environmental conflicts.
- Contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
