The Copper Mark is the leading assurance framework to promote responsible practices across the copper, molybdenum, nickel and zinc value chains. We work with companies and organisations throughout these metals’ value chains to enable them to better understand and meet the increasing demands for independently verified responsible practices, and to contribute positively to sustainable development.
Copper Mark Overview
The Copper Mark demonstrates the copper industry’s contribution to sustainable development and provides a comprehensive social and environmental assurance program for copper production. Copper producers participating in the Copper Mark are committed to adhering to internationally recognized responsible operating practices.
The Copper Mark Assurance Process
Assurance is the process by which the Copper Mark ensures that the claims made by participants are credible and trustworthy.
What We Do
Through our standards framework and requirements, we support our participants to identify and make on-the-ground changes to their operations. Our requirements cover all major environmental, social and governance issues to ensure our participants prevent, mitigate and remedy adverse impacts on people and the environment and contribute positively to the communities in which they operate.
Who We Partner With
The Copper Mark’s participants cover key supply chain actors across mining, smelting and refining operations in the copper, molybdenum, nickel and zinc value chains. Our downstream partners include world-leading companies which use these metals in their products. Our ambition is to cover the entire value chains of these metals.
