Botswana chamber adopts Canada’s sustainable mining programme

The Botswana Chamber of Mines (BCM) has announced that it will adopt the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative, a corporate social responsibility programme developed by the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) to improve environmental and social practices in the mining industry. This is first time that TSM has been adopted by a mining association in Africa. BCM is also the third organisation outside Canada to adopt the initiative.
