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.
