This Position Statement sets out ICMM corporate members’ approach to revenue transparency.
ICMM respects the ultimate right of sovereign governments to make decisions regarding revenue transparency, and recognizes the contribution that greater transparency can make to enhanced governance, combating corruption and ensuring that mineral revenues foster more sustainable growth and reduce poverty. Given the importance of revenue transparency for well-functioning economies and good governance, ICMM members will strive to positively engage with governments and civil society organizations that are committed to revenue transparency. ICMM is supportive of the EITI and of the EITI Principles, established in 2003, that are the cornerstone for the initiative.
