The Fairmined Standard for Gold and Associated Precious Metals has been developed to support sustainable development of artisanal and small-scale mining communities.
The standard includes requirements for artisanal and small-scale mining organizations to perform responsible artisanal and small-scale mining: formal and legal mining operations, environmental protection, labour conditions, traceability of Fairmined minerals, and socio-economic development through the Fairmined Premium.
It also outlines market models and requirements for market actors (Fairmined Suppliers).
