Chief Financial Officer World Gold CouncilWhy gold mining companies are signing up to the Gold Bar Integrity Programme

The gold industry is going through a period of significant change, including the important steps that are being taken by gold miners to disclose the refineries to which they send their gold.
The commitment to uploading core provenance data onto the Gold Bar Integrity platform will support the integrity of the gold supply chain. This will not only help anybody who is looking to purchase this gold to have confidence that they can do so in line with their responsible sourcing commitments, but also underpin the creation of digitalised gold products, a new area of growth and innovation that we at the WGC are very excited about.
Investors are increasingly asking if gold can be considered an ESG compliant asset. We believe it certainly should and were delighted to participate in the webinar to highlight what the gold mining sector is doing in the ESG space.
Earlier this month, Terry Heymann attended the Responsible Asset Owner Symposium as a keynote speaker, presenting on 'Sustainable investing for long-term returns, not short-term gains'. Watch now!

Terry Heymann, our CFO, participated in a Mining Coffee Chat with Remi Piet, Senior Director Infrastructure, Energy & Natural Resources at Americas Market Intelligence. Watch their conversation on the Responsible Gold Mining Principles and more.
Last month, we launched the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs), a new framework that sets out clear expectations for consumers, investors and the downstream gold supply chain as to what constitutes responsible gold mining. In this video, Gary Goldberg, at the time CEO of NewmontGoldcorp, Mick Wilkes, CEO of OceanaGold and I discuss why we developed the RGMPs, investor expectations around ESG and expectations as to how the mining industry will evolve over the next 5 to 10 years.
Last week, I was delighted to be asked to speak at the inaugural Responsible Asset Owners Global Symposium in London . More and more investors are – quite rightly – thinking about how to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment choices. But there is still a lot of uncertainty about what this means, and in particular, what framework investors should use to assess ESG performance
