What We Do
Just Matter delivers independent ESG assurance and audit enablement across the mining and metals value chain. Our work focuses on high-risk, complex ESG topics where credible verification, consistent interpretation, and professional judgment are critical.
We support audit firms, certification bodies, and mining companies through independent audits, technical leadership, and capability building aligned with internationally recognized standards.
Our approach is risk-led and evidence-based, with a clear focus on independence, transparency, and defensible outcomes that stand up to regulatory, stakeholder, and accreditation scrutiny.
How We Work
Our approach is risk-led, evidence-based, and grounded in established assurance principles. Each engagement is designed to be defensible, consistent, and proportionate to risk, with a clear focus on independence and transparency.
We apply structured methodologies, robust quality controls, and experienced professional judgment throughout planning, execution, and review.
This ensures audit outcomes are reliable, decision-useful, and able to withstand regulatory, stakeholder, and accreditation scrutiny.
Our Role in the Assurance Ecosystem
Just Matter operates at the intersection of delivery and capability within the mining ESG assurance ecosystem. We work alongside audit firms and certification bodies to strengthen assurance programs, reduce execution risk, and support accreditation readiness.
Our role extends beyond individual audits to supporting consistent interpretation, sound judgment, and program integrity across complex assurance schemes.
This includes mentoring auditors, supporting program build-out, and providing technical oversight, without assuming management responsibility or compromising independence.
Standards and Credibility
Our work is aligned with leading international and industry standards, including IRMA, The Copper Mark, ICMM principles, GISTM, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO/IEC 17021-1.
We focus not only on what standards require, but how they are interpreted and applied in practice across different operating contexts.
This ensures assurance activities are consistent, credible, and grounded in evidence that supports reliable conclusions.
Independence and Governance
Independence is foundational to everything we do. Just Matter maintains clear boundaries between assurance, enablement, and any activity that could create conflicts of interest.
Our governance framework emphasizes impartiality, professional ethics, and alignment with recognized assurance standards.
This approach provides confidence for clients, partners, regulators, and stakeholders in the integrity and objectivity of our work.
Leadership and Technical Oversight
Technical oversight at Just Matter is led by senior assurance professionals responsible for audit quality, professional judgment, and consistent application of standards across all engagements.
Just Matter’s delivery model is supported by a vetted network of senior auditors and technical specialists, with all work subject to consistent technical oversight and quality control.
