The Swiss Better Gold Association offers a pioneering network of industry, finance and other service providers which support the creation of responsible gold value chains from mine to market.
The approach chosen by the Swiss Better Gold Association is to:
- Accept only metal originating from accredited responsible ASGM sources
- Achieve shorter supply chains and facilitate direct exports for ASGM producers
- Mobilise actors along the supply chain to establish & improve efficiency of these
- Promote environmental and social improvements locally through the Swiss Better Gold Fund (SBGF)
- Identify specific projects funded by members that allow faster ASGM producers’ improvement
