In a landmark announcement at the International Tin Conference on May 15th, the International Tin Association (ITA) shared the first Explorer & Developer (E&D) Member company reporting against the Tin Code standard. This significant development marks a major step forward in the Tin Code’s mission to promote sustainable practices and progressive improvement within the tin industry.

This underscores the growing commitment of E&D members to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. The Tin Code provides a comprehensive framework to promote sustainable tin mining practices, encompassing social and labour practices, environmental protection, health and safety and driving positive improvement in the supply chain.

ITA is thrilled to see E&D members taking concrete steps to implement the Tin Code and to see their ESG commitment starting at an early stage, during the project phase or development of the tin operation.
