The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that PT Energy Logistics’ supply chain in Indonesia has been pre-operationally certified in compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code).
ICMI has received and accepted a Detailed Audit Findings Report prepared by an independent professional third-party auditor who evaluated PT Energy Logistics’ supply chain against ICMI’s Pre-operational Verification Protocol and found it in compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Principles and Transport Practices. The Summary Audit Report and Auditor Credentials Form are available on the Signatory Companies Page on the ICMI web site: http://www.cyanidecode.org/signatory-company-categories/pt-energy-logistics-indonesia. The supply chain has been conditionally certified and must be audited within six months of its first transport of cyanide to demonstrate that it is operating in compliance with the Cyanide Code. The operation must be re-audited every three years thereafter to evaluate continuing compliance with the Cyanide Code.
The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold 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.
