Responsible Sourcing

Transparency, traceability and practical controls across precious-metals supply chains.

Responsible sourcing is a commercial discipline that shapes who can participate, how material moves and whether counterparties can trust the process.

Responsible sourcing starts before the transaction

Precious-metals transactions carry elevated risks around provenance, counterparties, documentation and jurisdictional exposure. London AU supports a structured approach to these issues before logistics and settlement begin.

The company’s responsible-sourcing approach is based on transparency, traceability, risk review and clear operating records.

  • Provenance awareness
  • Counterparty checks
  • Traceability records
  • Escalation where risks are identified

Alignment with international expectations

London AU helps stakeholders understand the types of information expected under OECD-style responsible sourcing frameworks and LBMA-aware market practice.

The company does not treat compliance as paperwork alone. Controls need to be understood by the people operating the supply chain.

  • OECD-aware review
  • LBMA-aware expectations
  • Supply-chain risk management
  • Documentation discipline

Support for upstream stakeholders

Responsible sourcing should not exclude legitimate upstream participants. London AU supports miners, ASM enterprises, aggregators and exporters in building clearer, more credible pathways to formal market engagement.

  • ASM engagement
  • Training and documentation
  • Market access preparation
  • Operational reliability
