The iShares Physical Gold ETC only accepts gold that meets The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Good Delivery rules. In-line with these rules, the bars also aim to comply with LBMA’s Responsible Sourcing Programme ensuring that 100% of the gold bullion backing our ETC is responsibly sourced (as at 31 March 2022). iShares will continue to work with our gold custodian to only allocate gold mined post-2012 to the ETC.
