PlanetGOLD works in collaboration with governments, the private sector, and small mining communities in nine countries around the world to significantly improve the production practices and working environment of small-scale artisanal miners. By working together to close the financial gap, supporting formalization, and raising awareness in mining communities through mercury-free extraction technology and relationships with formal markets, the program seeks to pave the way for cleaner and more efficient small-scale artisanal mining that benefits everyone, from the mine to the market.
We are an association of responsible innovators committed to the sustainable development of Peru's FASHION and textile sector.
Fairmined gold is gold that, in addition to being mined under the strict standards of Fairmined Certification, which considers social development, fair treatment, and equitable payment, also takes a step further in eliminating the use of mercury or cyanide in the mining process. This gold is not only responsible with regard to human rights, but also with regard to the environment and the Amazon.
The Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) was founded in 2004 and is the leading global organization on artisanal and small-scale mining. They work to transform the sector into a socially and environmentally responsible activity, while improving the quality of life of small-scale miners, their families, and communities.
