Unearthed: Tracing Responsible Gold ft Dr Robin Kolvenbach, Argor-Heraeus

This episode was filmed on Wednesday 15th July and is part 2 of a 2 part series with Argor-Heraeus.

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts John Reade and Joe Cavatoni are joined by Dr. Robin Kolvenbach, CEO of Argor-Heraeus, a major precious metals refining company located in Mendrisio, Switzerland. Together they explore what responsible sourcing, traceability and sustainability mean in practice for the modern gold supply chain.Episode two filmed at the Argor-Heraeus site, looks at how Argor-Heraeus treats responsible sourcing as a strategic opportunity rather than a compliance burden, why the company's downstream-focused business model reinforces its compliance standards, and the scale of the team behind its ambition to become the world's most responsible gold refiner. They also unpack Argor-Heraeus's Small Craft product, which channels a small premium directly back into ASGM communities, where responsible ASGM sourcing is scaling fastest, and how the World Gold Council's London Gold Principles could take these efforts industry-wide.Subscribe to Unearthed wherever you get your podcasts and visit Goldhub.com for more insights.About World Gold CouncilWe are a membership organisation that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain.
