Swiss Better Gold Association

Supporting responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining ☛ Join the Swiss Better Gold Association and help us increase the supply and demand for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold produced under better social and environmental conditions: info@sbga.ch // www.swissbettergoldassociation.ch The Swiss Better Gold Association is a non-profit association created by Swiss🇨🇭 players of the Gold Supply Chain. Our objective is to apply a simple market driven mechanism that enables artisanal and small-scale gold mines to adopt BETTER SOCIAL and ENVIRONMENTAL practices and facilitates access of RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED GOLD to the SWISS MARKET. Since 2013, we partner with the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in the Swiss Better Gold Initiative, a three-dimensional, integrated supply chain program which aims at: → Improving social and environmental practices of Artisanal, Small- and Medium-Scale Gold Mining (ASM); → Maintaining country level policy dialogues in implementation countries; → Establishing long-term responsible gold value chains from mine to market. After a launching phase in PERU (2013-2016), the initiative has now expanded to COLOMBIA and BOLIVIA.
