The International Cyanide Management Institute (ICMI) announced today that PT Trans Continent’s Indonesia Supply Chain has been recertified in full compliance with the International Cyanide Management Code (Cyanide Code).
PT Trans Continent’s Indonesia Supply Chain was initially certified in full compliance with the Cyanide Code in September 2011. As required under the Cyanide Code, the operation was again audited against ICMI’s Verification Protocol within three-years of its previous certification by an independent professional third-party auditor. ICMI has received and accepted the auditor’s Detailed Audit Findings Report which found that PT Trans Continent’s Indonesia Supply Chain had maintained full compliance with the Cyanide Code’s Principles and Transport Practices throughout the previous three years. A summary of the audit report and the Auditor Credentials Form are available on PT Trans Continent’s Signatory Company Page of the ICMI web site: http://www.cyanidecode.org/signatory-company/pt-trans-continent. The operation must be re-audited every three years hereafter to evaluate its 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.
