The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that ENLOG S.A., a cyanide transporter in Brazil, has been certified in full compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code).
ENLOG was audited before it began transporting cyanide and was pre-operationally certified in March 2023. As required under the Cyanide Code, within six months of its first transport of cyanide the operation was again audited against ICMI’s Transportation Verification Protocol by an independent professional third-party auditor. ICMI has received and accepted the auditor’s Summary Audit Report and Detailed Audit Findings Report which found ENLOG in full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Transport Principles and Standards of Practice. The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available on ENLOG’s Signatory Page on the Cyanide Code website. The operation must be re-audited every three years hereafter to evaluate continuing compliance with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold and/or silver using cyanide and companies producing and transporting this cyanide. It was developed under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee. The Cyanide Code is intended to complement an operation’s existing obligation to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of the political jurisdictions in which the operation is located.
ICMI has been established to administer the Cyanide Code, promote its adoption, evaluate its implementation, and manage the certification process. A detailed list of the operations covered by signatory companies’ applications, along with the full text of the Cyanide Code and its implementing and administrative documents, are available at www.cyanidecode.org.
