In the context of the increasing demand for Fairmined Gold and the rigorous inspection and certification processes of the Fairmined System, the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) has decided to implement Ecert – a professional IT solution for traceability and certification management from the Austrian-based company Intact Consult.
With Intact Consult ARM has chosen an experienced specialist in the field of audit and certification management. ARM intends to provide a robust system ensuring maximum transparency and comprehensive information to enhance the confidence of its stakeholders.
“We have chosen Intact because of their proven track record in developing solutions for audit and certification management. We are excited about beginning the implementation of this information system that will further back-up the credibility of the Fairmined Certification System” says Ronald Koepke, ARM´s Ecert Project Manager.
“We are very pleased that ARM have chosen us to support them in achieving their goals regarding ethical mining and procurement”, says Thomas Lorber from Intact Consult. ”In our view, ARM’s strong commitment in the fields of traceability, environmental protection, the fair treatment of miners and locals is rather progressive for this kind of industry and therefore very much in line with our company philosophy”.
The information system is expected to be fully implemented later this year.
