Retailer Profiles
Earthworks asks retailers, from large department stores to small businesses, to sign the Golden Rules, and seek out metals from sources that meet the Golden Rules for responsible mining. We are heartened to see that 93 retailers have made a commitment to improved standards. In these interviews we ask why they joined the campaign and how they work to implement the Golden Rules.
If you are a retailer and would like to endorse the Golden Rules, please email us a signed, dated copy of this document on your letterhead to: retailers@nodirtygold.org.
