Responsible Sourcing
Refiners Toolkit
LBMA ASM Toolkit
One of the Task Force’s first outputs was the ASM Toolkit - a practical framework that helps Refiners evaluate and engage with ASM supply chains responsibly. The toolkit sets baseline requirements (aligned with OECD guidance) and introduces a progressive improvement model, recognising that change takes time but must be measurable. The Toolkit does not certify ASM gold. Instead, it equips refiners with tools to assess risks and support continuous improvement where possible.
Refiners must review and apply the ASM Toolkit in their due diligence process.
This toolkit provides useful checklists, forms and questionnaires to assist refiners. Click on the relevant file to download:
LBMA is always open to feedback on this ASM Toolkit. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.
Refiner Data Collection
All assurance deliverables, including Country of Origin data, must be submitted through the GBI Database. The necessary templates, and a Guide on how to submit the Data, are readily available within the upload tool to guide you through the process. If you do not yet have access to the database or require any assistance, please contact us at [email protected].
