Sign our Manifesto for the recognition of Sustainable Enterprises!
To create systemic change, we advocate for a new policy framework that recognizes and incentivizes sustainable companies in Switzerland. Therefore we launched a Manifesto for the Recognition of Sustainable Enterprises. We call on all Swiss decision-makers to support our initiative and sign the manifesto.

Ziele
Direkter Beitrag zu den SDGs
Zieltyp
Goal 1
By 2028, we source 20 t of gold from Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sources, compared with 3.5 t imported in 2022 and reported to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)*.
* ASM sources are mercury-free, making an important contribution to the Minamata agreements.
Core business
Goal 2
By 2027, we reduce the carbon impact of our plant by 60 % (Scopes 1 & 2) compared with no reduction in 2020, and by 2024, we commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)*.
* By 2024, we contribute to a harmonization effort with other Swiss refiners for the calculation of Scope 3 related to the supply of precious metals.
Internal operations
Goal 3
By 2025, we set up a foundation under Swiss law and redistribute 80 % of the premiums paid to community projects benefiting our precious metal supply sources*.
* By community projects, we mean those that promote well-being, climate protection and biodiversity in our sourcing regions. Premiums paid by our customers through the Foundation for the purchase of certified precious metals from mercury-free artisanal sources or recycled gold sources of traceable origin.
Collective Action
Goal 4
By 2024, we maintain the HR Bench satisfaction index above 3, compared with 2.7 in 2022*.
* The HR Bench scale assesses an environment conducive to employees' professional and personal development. A satisfaction index above 3 on the HR Bench scale exceeds the national average for companies operating in the same field of activity (1: very dissatisfied, 2: rather dissatisfied, 3: rather satisfied, 4: very satisfied).
Internal operations
Scope of Pledges:
PX Précinox SA operates in Switzerland. The pledges taken within the STI framework relate to the sustainability policy applying to all PX Précinox SA operations carried out in Switzerland. The company is therefore accountable for their implementation within the limits of its scope of activity.
Hinweis: Bis 2023 bezeichnet systematisch das Ende des Jahres, das heisst: Bis zum Ende des Jahres 2023 (ausser anders definiert, z. B. Geschäftsjahr)
