The PX Impact™ projects are financed from the sale of responsible gold under the PX Impact™ label in Europe. A growing number of supportive firms from the fine luxury jewellery, watchmakers and banking sectors have agreed to pay a small premium. These firms are incorporating the use of responsibly sourced traceable gold that is produced from ASMs. One hundred percent of the premiums paid are used in the projects. There are no administrative fees, and the two partners Dynacor/PX Precinox jointly assume the overhead.
This business to business approach in the gold supply chain is the first of its kind. It will significantly benefit the small-scale mining communities in Peru that supply the mineralized gold ore.
This responsible gold supply chain supports:
- The formalization process of the artisanal mining sector in Peru;
- Better health, education and economic well-being for artisanal mining communities in Peru.
