The agreement was made at the 2014 CIBJO conference in Moscow last week, and was signed by CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri and Fairtrade International’s Fairtrade Gold coordinator Greg Valerio.
According to the MOU, Fairtrade commits to work with CIBJO and its member organisations to improve certified Fairtrade gold supplies to the jewellery markets and members of CIBJO-associated organisations, while CIBJO commits to facilitating and encouraging its members to adopt and integrate Fairtrade gold and precious metals into their national supply chains.
