This booklet provides practical guidance and answers frequently asked questions relating to sourcing gold from artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), globally. It clarifies expectations embodied in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (hereafter Due Diligence Guidance) which provides detailed recommendations and a practical five-step due diligence framework to help companies respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral production and sourcing practices. The Due Diligence Guidance is for use by any company potentially sourcing minerals or metals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
