At Ethic Minerals, transparency is the foundation of everything we do. We believe that a responsible gold supply chain is only possible when every stage—from extraction to final export—is fully traceable, compliant, and aligned with international ethical standards. Our approach ensures that the gold we commercialize is sourced legally, responsibly, and with respect for the people and environments involved in its production.
A transparent supply chain protects miners, buyers, and communities. It reduces risk, strengthens trust, and guarantees that every gram of gold entering global markets meets strict ethical, legal, and environmental criteria.
1. Full Traceability From the Mine to the Market
We implement rigorous traceability systems that document the journey of gold at every stage. This includes:
- Verified origin from licensed mining sites
- Accurate registration of quantities and movements
- Secure transport and validated chain-of-custody procedures
- Transparent documentation available for audits and inspections
This level of traceability ensures that all production handled by Ethic Minerals is free from conflict origins, illegal sourcing, or informal intermediaries.
2. Compliance With International Standards
Our supply chain is built on globally recognized frameworks, including:
- OECD Due Diligence Guidance
- LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance
- ESG and sustainability principles
- Anti–money laundering (AML) regulations
We work closely with miners and partners to ensure they meet all legal and ethical requirements, facilitating seamless access to international markets.
3. Rigorous Due Diligence and Risk Management
Ethic Minerals applies a structured, multi-layered due diligence process that includes:
- Comprehensive KYC and background checks
- Continuous monitoring of supply chain risks
- On-site visits and operational evaluations
- Red-flag detection and immediate risk mitigation
- Rejection of any production that does not meet compliance standards
This rigorous system prevents illegal gold from entering the supply chain and ensures the integrity of every transaction.
4. Transparency in Pricing and Payments
Responsible sourcing also means fair economic treatment. Ethic Minerals provides:
- Market-based pricing backed by international benchmarks
- Clear, itemized documentation for every transaction
- Traceable digital or bank-based payments
- Elimination of informal middlemen
This creates a supply chain where miners are rewarded fairly and buyers have full confidence in the legitimacy of the gold they acquire.
5. Environmental and Social Responsibility
A responsible supply chain extends beyond legality—it must also protect people and the environment. We promote:
- Environmentally safe mining and processing practices
- Reduction of ecological damage and waste
- Respect for labor rights and community welfare
- Zero tolerance for child labor or human rights violations
By prioritizing sustainability, we ensure long-term value creation for mining communities and global clients.
6. Building Trust With Global Buyers
The transparency and integrity of our supply chain allow us to build strong, long-term relationships with:
- International refiners
- Central banks
- Institutional buyers
- Ethical investors
- Jewelry manufacturers
Buyers choose us because they can trust the origin, legality, and ethical compliance of every shipment.
