Fairtrade + Fairmined Marks

The Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO) and the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) has developed the first ever third party independent certification for gold to bring about social, environmental and economic development in artisanal and small-scale mining communities. This partnership enables both organizations to meet shared strategic objectives, creating a system to ensure that artisanal and small-scale miners can earn a better price for their gold. The partnership will be communicated on product via a co-labeling hallmark using both the FAIRTRADE and FAIRMINED Marks. Check it out.
