Mining and Metals
Aspen CBE and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) have worked together to promote
MBA-level teaching on social and environmental issues in the mining and metals industry. ICMM is a CEO-led
industry group of mining and metals companies committed to responsible production, and plays a thought
leadership role in promoting best practices.
The project aimed to create high-quality teaching materials on the subject and make them available to business
faculty, as well as introducing some of ICMM's existing ideas and materials to an academic audience. The three
parts are as follows:
