Our commitment to responsible sourcing, ethical trade, and transparent precious metals supply chains.
Comfi Trading FZCO is committed to responsible precious metals trading and to maintaining supply chain practices that support transparency, integrity, and respect for international standards.
As a company active in the precious metals sector, Comfi recognises that gold, silver, platinum group metals, and other high-value minerals may be exposed to risks linked to conflict-affected and high-risk areas, human rights abuses, forced labour, child labour, corruption, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and other serious misconduct.
Comfi’s Precious Metal Supply Chain Policy supports the company’s commitment to responsible sourcing and ethical business conduct. The company expects suppliers, counterparties, and relevant business partners to operate in a manner consistent with recognised responsible sourcing principles, including standards inspired by the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
Comfi’s supply chain approach includes commitments to:
- avoid contributing to conflict, serious human rights abuses, or illegal activity;
- reject forced labour, child labour, inhuman treatment, and other serious abuses;
- avoid direct or indirect support to non-state armed groups;
- refuse sourcing from illegal mining operations;
- conduct risk-based due diligence before entering into relevant transactions;
- monitor existing counterparties and supply chain relationships;
- maintain appropriate records of precious metals transactions and due diligence measures.
- report suspicious activity or concerns through appropriate channels;
- promote awareness and training among relevant employees;
- support secure, transparent, and verifiable precious metals supply chains.
Where Comfi identifies a reasonable risk that a supplier or counterparty may be connected to serious abuses, illegal sourcing, conflict financing, or other unacceptable conduct, the company may suspend, review, or discontinue the relationship in accordance with its internal procedures.
Comfi Trading FZCO also recognises the importance of anti-bribery, anti-corruption, AML/CFT compliance, and accurate representation of the origin of precious metals. The company does not tolerate attempts to conceal or misrepresent the origin, movement, taxation, or ownership of precious metals.
Through its Precious Metal Supply Chain Policy, Comfi reinforces its commitment to responsible bullion trading, ethical sourcing, transparency, and compliance-aware business practices across the precious metals supply chain.
