Founded on responsible sourcing

Since our founding in 2006, we've travelled the globe to build new, evidence-based supply chains for the materials we use. We are focused on reducing the environmental impact of these materials while also striving for a more equitable distribution of value along the supply chain.

Launched People + Planet Gold

FTJCo launched AKARA People + Planet, our blend of 50% recycled gold and 50% new content from artisanal miners. In 2026 we added Net Zero (Scope 1 & Scope 2) Single Mine Origin (SMO) gold to our blend. Our current blend combines these three origins: the aforementioned SMO gold from Australia, Fairmined certified artisanal gold from the Agromining Cooperative of the Municipality of Iquira in Colombia and SCS Certified Recycled Gold from Canada.

First Fairtrade gold in N. America

We are proud to have been the first company in North America to use and offer certified Fairtrade gold. Three years later, we were also the first to launch Fairmined certified gold in North America. FTJCo donated some of that first Fairtrade gold to the collection of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Conflict-free gold supply chain

FTJCo, working with the NGO IMPACT, created the first legal gold supply chain connecting a conflict-afflicted area to North America. We offered this gold to clients via our new ‘50/50 FTJCo Blend’ of half Congolese 'Just Gold' and half certified recycled gold.
