What is Fairtrade Gold?

  • Fairtrade Gold is the world's first independent ethical certification system for gold. The Fairtrade Gold Standards include strict requirements on working conditions, health and safety, handling chemicals, women’s rights, child labour and protection of the environment.

  • Fairtrade Gold makes a real difference to the lives of miners, their families and communities. Buying Fairtrade Gold means you know the small-scale and artisanal miners were paid a fair price, giving them financial security. They also receive an extra amount of money to invest in building the future of their families and their communities, through education, clean water and healthcare.

Why offer your customers Fairtrade Gold?

  • • Because it’s traceable
    Fairtrade Gold is a simple, flexible and cost-effective way to source the gold you need responsibly and with traceability – all through an international network that’s recognised and trusted by shoppers. We are audited on a regular basis to ensure all requirements are met in-line with Fairtrade guidelines.

    • Because consumer support for Fairtrade is increasing year on year
    New independent sales figures reveal that retail sales for Fairtrade Gold and Fairtrade Silver grew by 14% globally and 21% in the UK in 2018, alongside increased business engagement. The figures back up the findings of the Fairtrade Foundation, which show public support for Fairtrade at an all-time high.
    Reports also show that a third of consumers would choose to shop at stores that were concerned about how their gold is produced, while a quarter said they would buy Fairtrade Gold even if it meant paying more**.

    • Because it shows your customers that you’re committed
    Fairtrade Gold shows your customers your commitment to supporting artisanal and small-scale miners to build a brighter future for themselves, their families and communities. More mines are coming on stream with more planned for 2019. The main areas for mining are Peru and Bolivia with Uganda and Tanzania planned for 2020
