SUMMARY:

Mining activity, of significant economic importance in various countries, has raised substantial environmental concerns, particularly in the realm of waste generation and management. Within this context, the Canadian program Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), and the ISO 14001:2015 standard have emerged as tools adopted by mining companies to elevate environmental management standards in their operations. However, the independent implementation of these standards is a common practice, resulting in gaps in environmental management. This work proposes an approach aiming at the integration of the TSM, GISTM, and ISO 14001 Tailings Management Protocol in mining projects, with the purpose of enhancing environmental management and mitigating negative impacts. The methodology employed involved a comparative analysis of equivalence between the criteria of the TSM Tailings Management Protocol checklist in relation to the GISTM and ISO 14001:2015. The objectives outlined throughout this study were successfully achieved, revealing a significant equivalence between the requirements and criteria of TSM, GISTM, and ISO 14001:2015. This equivalence not only validates the feasibility of an integrated approach but also points to a strategic opportunity, allowing organizations to optimize their efforts in the implementation and maintenance of these systems.
