This comprehensive resource is aimed at helping exploration com - panies improve their social, environmental and health and safety performance. • The MAC produced the Towards Sustain - able Mining (TSM) initiative to promote social, economic and environmental best practices among its members. All member companies of MAC are required to endorse the TSM Guiding Principles and commit to reporting on TSM performance elements.
