Aboriginal and Community Outreach
In 2021, facilities continued to demonstrate high levels of leadership and excellence on the Aboriginal and Community Outreach Protocol. There was a small decline in the number of facilities reporting a Level A or higher across the four indicators of this protocol, due primarily to performance from facilities that remain in the early stages of TSM implementation. In 2022, facilities will report for the first time on the new Indigenous and Community Relationships Protocol, which includes two new indicators: one focused on effective engagement and dialogue with Indigenous communities and another on managing impacts and benefits associated with mining operations. A few companies chose to report on the new version of the protocol in 2021, the results of which can be found in individual company reports.

Crisis Management and Communications Planning
In 2021, facilities continued to demonstrate strong performance on the Crisis Management and Communications Planning Protocol. There were slight declines in performance across all indicators for a variety of reasons, including facilities still in early stages of TSM reporting working to improve their performance. On Indicator 3, following an actual crisis, at least three facilities failed to review implementation of the crisis management plan and identify lessons learned. This protocol will be undergoing a review in 2022 to consider whether updates to the criteria are needed.

Safety and Health
In 2021, facilities continued to demonstrate a high degree of performance on the Safety and Health Protocol, with minor declines in the number of facilities reporting a Level A or higher across Indicators 1 and 3. There was a more significant decline in performance on Indicator 5 due to five facilities reporting fatalities. This is, unfortunately, the highest number of facilities to be downgraded to a B due to a fatality since reporting began on the protocol in 2013. In 2022, facilities will begin reporting on a revised version of this protocol that includes new requirements related to critical controls, high consequence hazards, and mental health.

Child and Forced Labour
Facilities report on the Preventing Child and Forced Labour Protocol every three years during the external verification of TSM performance results. The first year of reporting on this protocol was 2018. In 2018, 2019, and 2021, facilities undergoing external verification consistently met all requirements associated with the protocol.
