Investing in gold comes at a hefty environmental cost. Producing just one gram of gold in 2019 released a staggering 0.028 tons of CO2, equivalent to driving from Indonesia to the US in a gas-powered car. This destructive process also contributes to deforestation in Indonesia, the world's 8th largest gold producer. The country lost a shocking 490,000 hectares of forest annually from 2000 to 2015

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) are 17 global goals established by the United Nations to address the world's most pressing challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. These goals are a universal call to action to ensure a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.
We implement UNSDG in our Green Gold program to align our efforts with global sustainability initiatives. By following these goals, we can address environmental challenges such as carbon emissions and deforestation, promote sustainable practices in the gold industry, and contribute to climate action (SDG 13) and life on land (SDG 15). This ensures that our impact is both meaningful and globally relevant, helping us achieve carbon neutrality and support environmental conservation.
