Fair: Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM)

The Alliance for Responsible Mining is an independent, global-scale, pioneering initiative established in 2004 to enhance equity and wellbeing in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) communities through improved social, environmental and labour practices, good governance and the implementation of ecosystem restoration practices. ARM is committed to social justice and environmental responsibility as the values driving the transformation of ASM.

ARM's vision is for ASM to become a formalised, organised and profitable activity that uses efficient technologies, and is socially and environmentally responsible, and increasingly develops within a framework of good governance, legality, participation and respect for diversity, driven by a growing consumer demand for sustainable and fair-trade jewellery and mineral commodities.

ARM's mission is to contribute to the transformation of ASM into a socially and environmentally responsible activity, by facilitating an economically just supply chain and educating consumers to understand their power to bring about direct improvement in the quality of life of artisanal miners by purchasing fair trade jewellery and minerals.

ARM works with ASM organisations and other players in the supply chain; it follows a bottom-up approach in building on local traditional knowledge and seeking to respond to community initiatives aimed at poverty reduction and locally-based control of the community's own natural resources. At the heart of this effort is the intent to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals in ASM communities.
