LBMA looking to elevate responsible gold sourcing standards

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) is looking to elevate the standards of its responsible precious metals sourcing programme. When responsible sourcing guidance was launched in 2012, the main focus was on ensuring that links with conflicts, money laundering and terrorist financing were broken, and since then it has also embraced environmental, social and governance (ESG) enhancement and sustainability.
