The Copper Mark is the first and only programme for responsible production of the copper industry. Originally developed by the International Copper Association with inputs from a broad range of stakeholders including customers, NGOs and producers, the Copper Mark is now an independent entity with a multi-stakeholder council.
As part of this programme, Oyu Tolgoi has also made a series of commitments about the way it operates, how it contributes to Mongolia’s society and economy, and how it manages environmental impacts. These commitments are underpinned by a number of policies, procedures and an approach which recognises that Oyu Tolgoi has a role to play in supporting the long-term development of Mongolia and sustainable supply chains.
