LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance
Requires Good Delivery refiners to apply OECD-aligned due diligence to every source of gold, with annual independent audits. Refiners pass these expectations back up their supply chains.
Who it affects
Good Delivery refiners, and the mines and traders that supply them.
What it requires
- Know-your-customer checks on every supplier
- Risk assessment of each source
- Annual independent audits
How POINT helps
POINT captures this evidence in the field and keeps it linked through every handoff, so it's ready to share when a buyer, auditor or authority asks.
- Mine of origin and its legal status
- Know-your-customer records for suppliers
- Chain of custody to the refinery
- Red flag reviews, including for artisanal and small-scale mining
