Based on volunteerism, it is a regulatory process that certifies that rough diamonds that are exported by a participating country are "conflict free".

The certification label Fairmined certifies the origin of gold produced by autonomous, responsible, artisanal and small-scale mines ladder. It turns mining into a positive force, ensuring social development and environmental protection, providing everyone with a source of gold to be proud of. The Fairmined Initiative was created by The Alliance for a Mine Responsible . AMR is a non-profit organization recognized worldwide as a leader and pioneer in responsible artisanal and small-scale mining.
