Logistics sector looks to ICMM's policy on respecting human rights as an example

"...The performance expectations will apply to all ICMM’s company members who manage almost 650 assets in over 50 countries, covering nearly half of the world’s iron ore and copper production, and over a quarter of all mined commodities by value.

As a consequence, said spokesmen, it will be the most far-reaching initiative to advance environmental and social performance in the mining industry.

The new performance expectations were developed with extensive input from NGOs, international organizations and academics. The initiative has CEO-level support within all ICMM company members...

ICMM is currently developing guidance on how members will validate the performance expectations at the asset level including through independent third-party assessments. It expects this guidance to be complete in the middle of 2019. The guidance will be piloted during the second half of 2019 followed by full implementation across the membership."
