In the last few months the gold industry, facilitated by the World Gold Council, launched a similar certification scheme, the Conflict-Free Gold Standard, an industry-led approach to combat the potential misuse of mined gold to fund armed conflict. It will require companies handling gold along the supply chain to certify they have not used conflict minerals; reporting begins in January, so time will tell if this is more successful than its diamond counterpart.
