In terms of environmental standards, Fairmined Eco Gold exceeds regular Fairmined or Fairtrade Gold.

Fairmined Eco Gold completely eliminates the use of toxic chemicals such as mercury and cyanide and has stricter requirements, such as forest reforestation. This also includes a $6,000 per kilogram premium for Eco Gold to compensate for higher costs and lower yields for local workers.
