A Responsible Partner 
for the Mining Industry

OCIM Metals & Mining supports its mining partners in adopting ESG best practices.

The mining sector faces a historic responsibility

Metals are at the heart of the new industrial revolution and the decarbonisation of our societies.

On the front line, the mining industry bears the responsibility of accompanying this transformation while generating a positive impact on its entire ecosystem and its stakeholders. At stake is its ability to meet the growing needs of our economies and to operate over the long term.
