What does Holland Gold do in the area of corporate social responsibility?

Holland Gold works on corporate social responsibility in three key areas:

1. Recognised mints and refineries
   Holland Gold only sells products from recognised mints, producers and LBMA-accredited refineries. In doing so, high standards in responsible sourcing are pursued.
2. Codes of conduct within the precious metals sector
   As an LBMA Affiliate Member, Holland Gold endorses important industry codes, such as the LBMA Global Precious Metals Code, which focuses on ethical conduct, transparency and responsible business practices. You can read more about Holland Gold and the LBMA on our page about LBMA Affiliate Membership.
3. Transparent pricing for resale
   Holland Gold stands for professional valuation and transparent, verifiable prices when buying back gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

Recognised mints and accredited refineries

Holland Gold attaches great importance to responsible sourcing: precious metals must come from a responsible source. This is important because uncontrolled mining and refining can have negative consequences for people and the environment, such as environmental damage, poor working conditions, corruption or the financing of conflicts.

That is why Holland Gold sells gold, silver, platinum and palladium from recognised mints, producers and refineries. For LBMA-accredited refineries, the origin of precious metals is checked within the applicable guidelines. More information about this can be found on the LBMA website.

Recycling and sustainable use of gold

Gold does not rust, does not decay and can be melted down again and again. Existing gold is therefore a fully-fledged alternative to newly mined gold. However, this material durability does not automatically make gold sustainable; what matters is how it is collected and processed.

If you want to exclude the use of mining or open-pit mining as much as possible, you can look at gold bars from C. Hafner. This German refinery is listed on the LBMA Good Delivery List and states that the gold in its products comes from its own recycling process: industrial precious metal waste and old gold, not mining material. More information can be found on the company page of C. Hafner.

Transparent pricing

For Holland Gold, transparent and verifiable pricing is part of responsible business practices. The buying and selling of physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium in the Netherlands is a free market.

When selling or buying back investment coins and bars, there is no supervision of pricing. Dealers determine their own bids, which means bid prices can differ greatly from one provider to another.

That is why Holland Gold considers it important that customers can check in advance what a price is based on. Our buying and selling prices are linked to the current spot price, weight, purity and tradability of the product.

This choice fits our belief that physical precious metals should be understandable and verifiable assets. Customers should have insight in advance into the price they pay or receive, without depending on unclear valuations.

The current buying and selling prices of gold, silver, platinum and palladium are listed on our website. You can also directly use our online valuation tool.

After confirming a purchase or resale, you will receive an order confirmation by email. The agreed price will not change afterwards.
