This standard is directed at community based Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Organizations (ASMOs) comprising of all possible forms of organizations that they may constitute. Fairmined ASMOs are certified through third party auditing, and Fairmined licensees (retailers of Fairmined labelled products) are certified upon full physical traceability (unlike Fair Trade Gold) through third party auditing. The standard aligns with the OECD guidance and regulations such as ILO and the Minamata convention. A premium is paid to the Fairmined producer depending on whether it complies with the Fairmined golf or Fairmined ecological gold.
