The SBGA offers a pioneering network of industry, finance and other service providers which support the creation of responsible gold value chains from mine to market.
The approach chosen by the SBGA is to:
- Accept only metal originating from accredited responsible ASGM sources
- Achieve shorter supply chains and facilitate direct exports for ASGM producers
- Mobilise actors along the supply chain to establish & improve efficiency of these
- Promote environmental and social improvements locally through the Better Gold Fund (BGF)
- Identify specific projects funded by members that allow faster ASGM operations’ improvement
