WHAT IS FAIRMINED GOLD?

Fairmined gold is a certification standard for gold that has been mined and produced in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. It was created by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) in 2014 to provide a way for artisanal and small-scale miners to sell their gold on the international market at a fair price.

The Fairmined certification requires that miners follow strict environmental and social standards, including using safe and responsible mining practices, providing fair working conditions, protecting the rights of women and indigenous people, and investing in community development projects.

By purchasing Fairmined gold, consumers can support responsible mining practices and help improve the lives of small-scale miners and their communities. The certification also promotes transparency and traceability in the gold supply chain, ensuring that the gold can be traced back to its source and that its production has not contributed to environmental degradation or human rights abuses.
