Fairtrade International stated that approximately 70 percent of gold
refining takes place in Switzerland. The first Fairtrade gold jewelry
collections by Max Havelaar Switzerland are being offered by Coop City
and Christ Uhren & Schmuck, both parts of the Coop Group. The gold
has been mined by Fairtrade gold mine Sotrami, which is located in
southern Peru.
Fairtrade gold was developed to improve the welfare
of people who operate small-scale gold mining projects, while
empowering safer working conditions, offering fair market access to
distribute and ensuring environmental protection from mining and
transparency in trading.
