RESPONSIBLE SOURCING:
Our commitment is to conduct our work to the highest business, ethical, and sustainability standards, by implementing stringent compliance strategies and through close monitoring of every stage of the gold supply chain.
Implementing sustainable and ethical practices in the supply chain of gold is essential to minimise environmental impact, ensure social responsibility, and support responsible mining practices. We are deeply committed to our responsibilities and have developed and implemented our sustainability and ethical policy based on guidance issued by esteemed organisations within this sector such as:
OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
The LBMA (London Bullion Markets Association)
The RMI (Responsible Mineral Initiative)
