Fairtrade Gold: Origin, Certification, and Social Impact
The gold for this Fairtrade gold wire was mined by CECOMSAP in Peru, an organization comprising 10 mining cooperatives in the Ananea district, Puno province, at an altitude of 4,700 meters. The region is known for its cold, snowy weather, with temperatures ranging from -10 °C to +10 °C.
The gold is Fairtrade certified, ensuring responsible mining practices. A $2,000 USD premium per kilogram of pure gold is paid directly to the mining cooperatives, supporting improved working conditions, fair wages, education, and healthcare.

The difference between Fairtrade Gold Wire and Fairmined Gold Wire is the certification system used to certify that the gold was sourced responsibly from artisanal and small-scale mining organizations.
Fairmined focuses specifically on the mining aspect of precious metals, ensuring responsible and ethical mining practices that benefit miners and their communities. On the other hand, Fairtrade encompasses a broader range of products and focuses on fair prices, labor conditions, and environmental standards throughout the supply chain, including mining, processing, and trading. Both initiatives aim to promote sustainability and social responsibility, and their Standards for Gold are built around the same four pillars: social development, environmental protection, organizational development, and working conditions.

Our pricing of the Fairtrade Gold Wire consists of 3 components:
- Current Gold Market Price
- Premium
- Fairtrade Social Premium
1. Current Gold Market Price
The gold market price, also known as the spot price, represents the current value of gold per ounce traded in the global market. It is influenced by various factors including supply and demand dynamics, economic indicators, geopolitical tensions, and investor sentiment. The spot price serves as a benchmark for pricing gold-related products and is continuously fluctuating based on market conditions.
2. Premium
The premium includes the costs associated with logistics, production, distribution, and marketing, as well as the additional costs that come along with trading Fairtrade gold products, such as auditing costs and separate administration. Ultimately, the premium reflects the higher production costs due to the small amounts of Fairtrade gold products in the market relative to conventional gold products.
3. Fairtrade Social Premium
The Fairtrade Premium is an additional sum of money paid on top of the Fairtrade minimum price for gold, which is directed towards community development projects and initiatives in Fairtrade-certified gold mining communities. This premium is democratically managed by the miners themselves, enabling them to invest in projects such as education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure improvements to enhance their livelihoods and communities. By choosing Fairtrade-certified gold, consumers contribute to empowering small-scale miners and promoting sustainable development within mining communities.

Der Unterschied zwischen Fairtrade Gold Draht und Fairmined Gold Draht ist das Zertifizierungssystem, das genutzt wurde, um sicherzustellen, dass das Feingold aus verantwortungsvollem Kleinbergbau bezogen wurde.
Fairmined konzentriert sich speziell auf den Aspekt des Abbaus von Edelmetallen und gewährleistet verantwortungsvolle und ethische Abbaupraktiken, die den Bergleuten und ihren Gemeinschaften zugute kommen. Fairtrade hingegen umfasst eine breitere Palette von Produkten und konzentriert sich auf faire Preise, Arbeitsbedingungen und Umweltstandards in der gesamten Lieferkette, einschließlich Abbau, Verarbeitung und Handel. Beide Initiativen zielen auf die Förderung von Nachhaltigkeit und sozialer Verantwortung ab, und ihre Standards für Gold beruhen auf denselben vier Säulen: soziale Entwicklung, Umweltschutz, Organisationsentwicklung und Arbeitsbedingungen.

Unsere Preisgestaltung für die Fairtrade Gold Produkte besteht aus 3 Komponenten:
- Aktueller Goldmarktpreis
- Marktübliche Prämie
- Fairtrade Sozialprämie
1. Aktueller Goldmarktpreis
Der Goldmarktpreis, auch Spotpreis genannt, stellt den aktuellen Wert des auf dem Weltmarkt gehandelten Goldes pro Unze dar. Verschiedene Faktoren beeinflussen ihn, darunter die Angebots- und Nachfragedynamik, Wirtschaftsindikatoren, geopolitische Spannungen und die Anlegerstimmung. Der Spotpreis dient als Benchmark für die Preisgestaltung goldbezogener Produkte und schwankt kontinuierlich je nach Marktbedingungen.
2. Marktübliche Prämie
Die marktübliche Prämie umfasst die Kosten für Logistik, Produktion von Feingold, Herstellung von Halbzeugen, Vertrieb und Marketing sowie die mit dem Handel mit Fairtrade Goldprodukten verbundenen Zusatzkosten, wie z. B. Prüfungskosten und separate Verwaltung. Letztendlich spiegelt die Prämie die höheren Produktionskosten wider, die aufgrund der geringen Fertigungsmenge von Fairtrade Goldprodukten auf dem Markt im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Goldprodukten entstehen.
3. Fairtrade Prämie
Die Fairtrade Prämie ist ein zusätzlicher Betrag, der an Minen gezahlt wird, die sich an die Fairtrade Standards für verantwortungsvolle und ethische Bergbaupraktiken halten. Die Prämie unterstütz gemeinschaftliche Entwicklungsprojekte; Umweltschutzbemühungen und Verbesserung der Lebensgrundlagen der Bergleute und ihrer Familien.
