UK Trial Puts 'Responsible Gold' Certification in the Dock
Original: UK Trial Challenges Gold Industry’s ‘Responsible Gold’ Certification
A trial in the United Kingdom is challenging the gold industry's 'responsible gold' certification scheme, raising questions about whether industry-led labels adequately protect human rights in gold supply chains. Human Rights Watch is covering the case, which could set a precedent for how mining practices and certification standards are scrutinised in court.
Why now: The trial is testing the credibility of the gold industry's ethical sourcing claims at a time of growing scrutiny of human rights in mineral supply chains.
