We are direct trading partners with Fairtrade and Fairmined certified mines. When we purchase gold from the mines, we do not deal with intermediary traders and transfer every payment directly to the mines’ official bank account. Also we only purchase gold from mines that are audited on a regular and unannounced basis by independent monitoring bodies. To meet all Fairtrade/Fairmined certification requirements, the entire supply chain, from mine to finished product, must be fully traceable.
