Gold

Gold is a precious metal recognised for millennia for its rarity, stability and universal value. It is distinguished by unique physical properties: it does not corrode, retains its characteristics over time, and can be stored, transported and transformed without loss of intrinsic value. These qualities make gold a reference metal, used as a store of value, a financial asset and a strategic raw material.

Beyond its monetary and investment functions, gold plays a critical role in numerous industrial sectors, including electronics, technology, healthcare and aerospace, due to its conductivity, malleability and reliability. Demand is therefore driven by a balance between financial, industrial and jewellery uses, contributing to gold’s resilience across economic cycles.

In a global context marked by economic and geopolitical uncertainty, gold maintains its status as a safe-haven asset sought by investors and institutions for portfolio diversification and capital preservation. This reinforces the importance of responsible gold production based on traceability, regulatory compliance and mining practices that respect territories and communities.
