Independent Owner-side Governance Assured
Turning end-of-life obligations into governed outcomes that protect owner accountability
Closure and transition represent one of the highest long-term exposure points for asset owners. Environmental obligations, rehabilitation commitments and post-closure responsibilities often extend well beyond operational life, with outcomes shaped years earlier by decisions taken during execution and operations. TMA provides owner-side governance intelligence by maintaining forward visibility over whether closure and transition outcomes are likely to be met as intended under evolving regulatory, environmental and social conditions. Operating above operators, advisors and regulators, it enables early recognition of emerging gaps while corrective options remain available.
Purpose and Intent
To determine whether closure, rehabilitation and post-closure obligations are likely to be met as intended, and whether long-term environmental and community responsibilities remain governable under current conditions.
Focus and Scope
TMA focuses on the alignment between approved closure intent and emerging end-of-life conditions, including: |
|
The focus is not on executing closure activities, but on whether obligations remain achievable and defensible. |
Expected Outcomes
Identification of conditions where closure and transition outcomes are unlikely to be achieved as intended, including increased likelihood of: |
|
These insights are formed before obligations become entrenched or irreversible. |
Governance Impact
Provides an objective basis for owner-side action, including: |
|
This supports defensible closure outcomes without assuming operational, regulatory or advisory roles. |
