Base metals meet the quality standards set by the London Metal Exchange (the “LME”).

The quality assurance standards set out by the LBMA, LPPM, and LME all go a long way to ensuring high standards in the provenance of the metal. Investors are able to verify the bars of physical precious metals related to provenance of the specific bar of metal including the date and location where the metal was mined and smelted, transportation to and between vaults. Transparency empowers the investor to understand any environmental or social impact that the bar has had over its lifetime.

Whilst these standards place these ETC Securities at the forefront of responsible initiatives, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to ESG and SRI requirements. However, every measure has been taken to ensure that investors have the ability to make decisions for themselves as to whether these products meet their own standards.
