A new Guidance Note on Supply Chain Transparency has been published to support greater transparency across the gold supply chain. The note encourages gold producers to disclose where doré from each operating mine is refined.
The document sets out a consistent reporting framework intended to make public disclosures more comparable. That approach is designed to help market participants assess and compare company reporting more easily.
According to the guidance, clearer disclosures can strengthen confidence in responsible gold mining. It is also intended to help distinguish legitimate operators from illicit actors in the market.
The note focuses on how and where companies should disclose information about the refining destination of doré produced at operating mines. The aim is to provide more visible and understandable information across the supply chain.
