Strengthening Tailings Governance & Responsible Mining

Friday, February 20, 2026

Reflecting on the progress made since the launch of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, Toms discusses the key gaps that still exist between commitment and execution, and how GTMI’s independent, multi-stakeholder approach to assurance, auditing and certification aims to restore confidence among communities, investors and regulators.

Drawing on decades of experience in high-consequence infrastructure, he highlights lessons from across sectors, the growing risks posed by legacy facilities and climate volatility, and the urgent need to strengthen professional capability and accountability across the system.

The conversation also challenges mining leaders to rethink tailings management not as a compliance exercise, but as a fundamental measure of responsible growth and long-term sustainability.
