The rigorous internal due diligence procedures ensure continuous control of the precious metals’ supply chain. In addition, Italpreziosi has adopted an integrated precious metals tracking system and proactive risk management.
Italpreziosi monitors its potential risks through:
A system that combines qualitative and quantitative information which evaluates safety, corruption, anti-money laundering, political stability, human rights, environmental impact, biodiversity, and protected areas.
Which includes links to the main government authorities, land registers and mining agencies, national and environmental laws, the country’s commitments to the mining sector, membership of the Minamata Convention, and the list of world heritage sites.
Such as World-Check by Refinitiv, Dun & Bradstreet, and Telemaco.
Evolves from the traditional KYC by including an active and collaborative engagement approach with counterparties. This aims to foster the adoption of environmental sustainability and social responsibility practices at every stage of the value chain.

Additionally, it actively works with clients to improve quality and sustainable practices, integrating an ISO 9001:2015 management system to ensure excellence in business operations.

In 2019 Italpreziosi joined the Programme Advisory Group (PAG) by PlanetGOLD, an initiative involving the United Nations, NGOs, companies, and public authorities aimed at improving production practices and working conditions in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM) in many countries around the world.
The program aims to demonstrate a path to responsible and more sustainable gold mining practices, benefiting everyone from mines to markets. The main initiative’s goal is to eliminate mercury from the ASM gold supply chain, supporting the Minamata Convention.
Salmon Gold is an innovative project launched in 2018 by RESOLVE,non-profit, non-governmental organization that addresses complex social, health, and environmental challenges through strategic partnerships. The initiative promotes responsible gold sourcing linked to environmental regeneration, ensuring complete traceability of each lot to its origin.
The project focuses on reactivating historic mining sites in North America, where past activities have compromised natural habitats, particularly those of migratory fish species such as salmon. Through practices of re-mining, Salmon Gold:
In 2024, Salmon Gold began a collaboration with Italpreziosi for refining gold from these mining sites. The gold refined by Italpreziosi will be used by Mejuri to create the Salmon Gold Capsule Collection, a dedicated jewellery line. The project is expected to reach full operation in 2025, further strengthening Italpreziosi’s commitment to sustainability projects in the supply chain.
Italpreziosi believes that a responsible supply chain can be created and strengthened only through collaboration and training. For this reason, in 2019 it created a portal dedicated to and accessible for all company’s collaborators and stakeholders which provides materials and tools useful for the implementation of due diligence practices and responsible policies.
In the Chain of information portal, there can be found materials on:
Each content is designed to offer concrete support and promote continuous growth. Even those who are not yet in line with Italpreziosi requirements are invited to consult the portal. This aims to promote greater awareness of current regulations and advanced industry standards, improving the supply chain and facilitating access to training. The training’s objective is to provide opportunities for constant and progressive growth, fostering a culture of continuous development.
Italpreziosi invests every day in the creation of an increasingly responsible and collaborative supply chain.
Training is the first step to transform!
