The World Gold Council is the global authority on gold and its uses and the first source of informed opinion and advice for stakeholders and decision makers. We use this knowledge to develop insights into the future role that gold can play across a number of sectors and then, in collaboration with partners, intervene to deliver solutions and create new markets, and to increase and sustain the demand for gold.

In the Investment sector we make gold fundamental to investment decision making.

For Governments and Central Banks, we are a trusted advisor to policy makers and reserve asset managers on all matters related to the gold market.

In the Jewellery sector, we create new insights and ideas which increase the allure and significance of gold when given or worn.

In the Technology sector, we work to place gold at the heart of technological advancement, and we are the authority on innovative uses of gold in industry and society.

As the global advocate for gold, we are committed to playing a key role in the development of a responsible gold mining industry. Our members, the leading gold mining companies, regard the management of the local environment and relationships with local communities as paramount considerations during the lifetime of any mine project. Together, we work to ensure the industry as a whole is striving to develop and integrate best practice.

All our work is informed by a deep understanding of the wide role gold has in society and its potential both now and in the future. Through commercial partnerships and industry leading research, we develop a clear understanding of, and insight into, each of its key markets. Using this insight, we create new, relevant and innovative solutions that deliver against clearly identified market needs. Our insight adds value to our partners and stakeholders across all sectors, and informs each of our programmes and market interventions.
