Community Service
How our sourcing relationships translate into direct community benefit.
Investing in the people we work with
Our Approach to Community Service
Every batch of material we refine starts with a person — an artisanal miner or a small regional supplier. We believe the trade should visibly benefit the communities it draws from, not just the companies at the end of the chain.
Focus Areas
Where We Put This Into Practice
Direct Sourcing Relationships
We work directly with licensed artisanal miners and regional suppliers rather than anonymous intermediaries, so more value reaches the people doing the work.
Fair, Transparent Terms
Every transaction is documented and priced transparently, giving our sourcing partners clarity and confidence in the relationship.
Long-Term Relationships
We aim to build lasting sourcing partnerships rather than one-off transactions, which gives communities a more predictable, reliable buyer.
