ITA Publishes MSC’s Fifth Tin Code Report Reflecting Continued ESG Commitment

The International Tin Association (ITA) is pleased to announce the publication of Malaysia Smelting Corporation Berhad (MSC)’s fifth Tin Code Report, covering the period from November 2024 to December 2025.

The report reflects MSC’s continued commitment to ESG transparency, sustainable and responsible tin production, and ongoing engagement with the Tin Code. During the reporting cycle, the majority of assessed standards achieved ratings of Progressing, Conforming, or Third-Party Verified, demonstrating sustained implementation of established management systems and responsible business practices.

Key updates

• Maintained Third-Party Verified status for Standard 7.3 (Responsible Sourcing)
• Third consecutive year of independent responsible sourcing assurance under Tin Code Assurance
• Strong health & safety systems, with third-party verification confirming full ISO 45001 alignment, including incident management and safe working practices
• Strengthened labour performance, with conformance across labour management systems and working hours requirements
• On-site engagement in Malaysia (2025) with ITA and independent assessors (Green Horizons Ltd), supporting detailed review and identification of improvement opportunities
• Ongoing collaboration on future improvement priorities, including progress towards conformance with all relevant Priority Standards

The report was supported through direct engagement between MSC, ITA, and independent assessors from Green Horizons Ltd during a site visit to MSC’s Malaysian operations in November 2025. The visit provided an opportunity to review implementation of Tin Code standards on-site, support evidence collection, and discuss future priorities across ESG-related areas.

ITA thanked the MSC team for its openness, collaboration, and constructive engagement throughout the assessment process, noting that continued reporting and ESG implementation remain important for strengthening transparency and continuous improvement across the global tin industry.

As one of the world’s longest-established tin smelting companies, MSC’s continued participation in the Tin Code demonstrates its commitment to sustainable and responsible tin production and strengthening confidence in the global tin supply chain.
