Retailers Who Support the Golden Rules
The following retailers have taken the first step towards more responsible sourcing of gold by declaring their support for the Golden Rules. These Rules represent social, environmental, and human rights criteria for more responsible gold production. The No Dirty Gold campaign encourages these retailers to now actively pursue "cleaner" sources of gold and to demonstrate that they are meeting their sourcing commitment.
