Sustainability as our priority

🦋 PRESERVING LIFE BY SAVING PRECIOUS METALS 🌍

Due to their scarcity, precious metals induce a colossal environmental and social impact (mining, deforestation, mining waste, water consumption and pollution, armed conflicts, prostitution…).

 

However, just like the pressure on other resources such as oil and water, we have now reached the peak of gold production. As its price will remain very high for many years, it is reasonable to think that Man will continue to track down its slightest trace and consider its extraction in still preserved areas (see Yellowstone, sea bed…).

 

Our technology can allow us to continue to use gold and other precious minerals sparingly and thus postpone the advent of exploitations that are highly destructive to living organisms.

 

LESS IS BETTER

DAUMET contributes to save
more than 100 tons of gold per year

Our action in terms of the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs).
  1. SDG 6, a development axis for sustainability

    water, a crucial issue

    A 5G GOLD RING = 500 SHOWERS

    In 1 year, DAUMET would save 10 years of water consumption for the city of Paris.

Positive impact gold sourcing

Since its creation, DAUMET has always used only recycled gold and now wishes to take a step forward in its responsible approach.
In 2019, DAUMET thus acquired a FAIRMINED licence in order to diversify its gold sources by the end of 2020 and thus support artisanal mining communities in their economic and social development and to ensure the limitation of the environmental impact linked to gold extraction.

Through this action, DAUMET is helping to provide a concrete response to the CSR issues of the Houses with which it works.
