At the National Federation of Gold Factories, our mission extends beyond industrial leadership — it is grounded in a deep commitment to sustainable development. We recognize that long-term success in the gold sector depends not only on economic performance, but also on environmental responsibility, social inclusion, and robust governance practices.

We advocate for cleaner, more efficient gold processing practices. Our members are encouraged to adopt eco-friendly technologies, reduce emissions, minimize waste, and support the rehabilitation of mining sites. We promote responsible sourcing and the circular use of materials wherever possible.
Social
Our federation fosters an inclusive and safe work environment, champions fair labor practices, and invests in the well-being of workers and local communities. We are committed to promoting gender equality, upskilling the workforce, and supporting local development initiatives.

Transparency, accountability, and ethical business conduct are the pillars of our governance approach. We provide our members with frameworks to improve internal controls, comply with legal requirements, and align with international standards such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
