About The Tin Code
The Tin Code is an initiative launched by the International Tin Association (ITA) in 2018, showcasing our member’s engagement and commitment to making progress and positive contributions in the areas of ESG and sustainability.
Building on unique and extensive experience and invaluable lessons learnt from our mineral due diligence projects and other standards systems, we developed 71 standards grouped under 10 principles that align with global expectations for environmental, social and governance performance.
Tin Code standards are based on a progressive rating system with an expectation for companies to achieve conformance and increasingly make use of an assurance mechanism for independent verification of performance.
Tin Code reports encourage progressive improvement in upstream ESG performance through transparent sustainability reporting.
