May 2006 - Jewelers, Educators Calls on Mining Industry to Produce Gold Ethically
At their 2006 annual conference, the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) approved a resolution calling upon the mining industry to produce gold in an ethical way that respects environmental, social, and human rights standards. The resolution states that "the use of irresponsibly mined gold that harms people, communities, or the environment does not reflect our values," and resolves "to support and encourage the use of gold that is independently certified." SNAG is the premier metal arts organization for jewelers, designers, and metalsmiths with 3,300 worldwide members.
