Summary of the Round table
From the mine to the bullion and the watch, the gold market involves a large number of players including miners, refiners, banks and jewelers. Faced with the challenges of the gold market, new international standards are emerging causing the evolution of the practices of the players in the gold sector towards a more “sustainable” / responsible production, respectful of principles such as those of transparency, human rights and the environment. If sustainability is the shared vision in the gold market, to what degree is coordination? This two-hour public lecture will expose the current state of the gold market, its issues, solutions and perspectives. Starting from the extraction phase at the mining level, the presentation will focus successively on the stages of processing by refineries and jewelers, and that of investment and sustainable finance. For each step, an intervenor will share his / her point of view on the issues and the associated solutions. A short discussion will close the Round Table.
