RESPONSIBILITY
Our member mines adhere to the strictest internationally recognised responsibility standards, such as the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMP’s), IRMA & ICMM principles.
-
TRANSPARENCY
Our member mines commit to sharing comprehensive, independently audited ESG data on an annual basis and provide quarterly updates on initiatives to improve environmental & social performance.
FULL TRACEABILITY
SMO Gold is fully traceable to the member mines from where it was sourced.
Learn about the mine & the positive environmental & social impact they have on the communities in which they operate.
RAISING THE BAR
The SMO ESG Benchmark is a pioneering initiative designed to systematically evaluate the sustainability credentials of gold mining operations.
CONSCIOUS CONSUMERISM
Demand for gold is growing, in both jewellery and investment products.
The origin of all gold is not equal and provenance is paramount to customer experience, for those questioning “where does my gold come from?”.
Progressive jewellery houses are sourcing SMO Gold for their collections, satisfying customer demand, adhering to ESG policies & best practice, and most importantly, investing in the positive future of gold.
DRIVING INDUSTRY CHANGE
Gold mining can be a force for good.
Managed responsibly, large commercial mines have a positive impact on the communities in which they operate, giving rise to employment, local investment, and positive initiatives to address environmental, health, educational & social concerns.
For those that are mining responsibly and with transparency, SMO provides a valuable community.

Tangible or intangible, bullion or coin, conscious investors want to know about provenance, assurance they are investing responsibly, and contributing to change.
