Our Fairtrade Gold
At AGUAdeORO, we choose to work exclusively with Fairtrade-certified gold, labeled by Max Havelaar. Sourced from responsible artisanal mines, this gold is extracted under conditions that respect human rights, fair trade principles, and environmental safeguards.
Each gram is purchased at a guaranteed minimum price with a Fairtrade Premium directly invested in local development, from education and healthcare to sustainable agriculture and women’s entrepreneurship. This gold is not just ethical. It empowers the communities behind it.
Fairtrade ensures strict traceability and independent audits at every stage, from mine to workshop. Safety standards, fair labor, and transparent governance are integral to every piece we create.
Reduce the environmental impact of gold extraction
Gold extraction, even on a small scale, can destabilize ecosystems. That’s why we have chosen to collaborate with Fairtrade, whose environmental requirements go well beyond international standards.
Strict Regulation of Chemical Products
Toxic substances like mercury and cyanide are strictly regulated. Cooperatives are encouraged to adopt safer alternatives and engage in pollution reduction practices.
Sustainable Long-Term Actions
Fairtrade also supports:
- The preservation of water resources
- The restoration of soils
- The protection of biodiversity
- Reforestation
- Sustainable agriculture initiatives
These initiatives are funded by the Fairtrade Premium, reinvested locally to ensure a positive and sustainable environmental impact.
