Stewart Investors has become the first investment management firm to become a member of the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), an organisation addressing the global demand for more socially and environmentally responsible mining.
Stewart Investors joins a network of nearly 100 members committed to a common vision: a world where the mining industry respects the human rights and aspirations of affected communities, provides safe, healthy and supportive workplaces, minimises harm to the environment, and leaves positive legacies.
"Stewart Investors is strongly aligned with IRMA’s mission and looks forward to continuing to learn from its expertise as the first investment manager to become a member.
“Responsible mineral sourcing is a strategic imperative for companies and investors across sectors, and we see membership and collaboration with IRMA as an exciting opportunity to bring stakeholders together and leverage collective action to drive progress," said Chris McGoldrick, senior investment analyst at Stewart Investors.
