Responsible Production

The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) Standard is an ESG framework with a strong emphasis on external assurance and stakeholder engagement. Project-level certification is based on independent third-party verification and certification against a comprehensive standard that covers all issues related to industrial-scale resource extraction.

In April 2022, Lithium Americas voluntarily participated in a pilot for the draft IRMA Ready Standard for Responsible Mineral Exploration and Development for Thacker Pass. The company completed a self-assessment of the draft standard by analyzing 405 requirements and commenting on 122 consultation questions.
