Gold Guidelines 2025 are a set of voluntary guidelines developed by the World Gold Council (WGC) to promote responsible gold mining practices. The guidelines cover a wide range of topics, including environmental protection, social responsibility, and human rights.
The guidelines were developed in response to growing concerns about the environmental and social impacts of gold mining. Gold mining can damage the environment by polluting water and land, and it can also lead to deforestation and the displacement of communities. The guidelines aim to help gold miners minimize these impacts and to operate in a more sustainable way.
