Where is your organization today?
The extent to which conformance is demonstrated at one company - through completed self-assessments, audits, and the quality of disclosures - may not be the same at another company.
We believe that meaningful adoption of GISTM is strengthened by honest evaluations of where your organization is today and where you might want to be in the future - going beyond 'checking-the-box' to prioritizing doing the right things rightly! DotConnect's GISTM Conformance Maturity Model was developed to help facilitate this critical conversation.
Unfortunately, in an industry where many organizations benchmark against their peers, there may be more 'Laggards' and ‘Evaluators’ than ‘Adopters’ or ‘Trailblazers’ when it comes to GISTM maturity.
We support mining companies at all levels of conformance maturity

will require varying degrees of planning and execution to catch-up and fully complete their first round of assessments and third-party verifications, and plan for recurring rounds in subsequent years.
LEVEL 3 & LEVEL 4 Companies ...
should build on their successes and lessons learned to modify their business processes and tools to scale efforts towards completing recurring assessment and verification cycles (every 3-5 years).
