Global Tailings Management Institute (GTMI)
Making mine tailings facilities safer for people and the environment.
Our Objective
The Global Tailings Management Institute (GTMI) has been established to enhance the safety of mine tailings facilities, by promoting widespread adoption and implementation of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management. Co-convened by ICMM, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the GTMI marks a transformative step toward safer tailings facilities, with a primary goal of zero harm to people and the environment, and zero tolerance for human fatalities.
