World Gold Council
The World Gold Council is the market development organisation for the gold industry. Its purpose is to stimulate and sustain demand for gold, provide industry leadership, and be the global authority on the gold market.
It develops gold-backed solutions, services and products, based on authoritative market insight and works with a range of partners to put its ideas into action. As a result, it creates structural shifts in demand for gold across key market sectors.
It provides insights into the international gold markets, helping people to understand the wealth preservation qualities of gold and its role in meeting the social and environmental needs of society.
Based in the UK, with operations in India, China, Singapore and the USA, the World Gold Council is an association whose members comprise the world’s leading and most forward-thinking gold mining companies.
The World Gold Council's ‘Gold and Climate Change’ programme seeks to deepen the understanding of gold’s current and potential future climate impacts, including gold’s ability to transition to a net zero carbon future. It also examines how various climate scenarios, and the shifting policy and regulatory landscape that might impact gold’s performance as an investment asset.
