SAMLERHUSET GROUP I PROFILE

The first is Samlerhuset Group’s partnership with the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM). ARM is a non-profit organisation that supports artisanal and small-scale mining operations and organisations, to become Fairmined certified mines.

Within this partnership, Samlerhuset Group sponsors the Minas y Cuevas mine in Honduras in its journey to becoming certified.

“Certification will make a huge impact on the miners’ lives, financially, socially and in terms of the environmental conditions in which they live and work,” Ms Mulon noted.

The other programme is Samlerhuset Group’s partnership with Swedish NPO Humanium Metal, whose mission is the promotion of peace by ending the violence caused by illegal firearms.

“There are a lot of illegal guns worldwide causing death and misery every day,” Ms Mulon lamented. “Even once they’re confiscated, it can be difficult to prevent them from falling back into criminal hands. Humanium Metal assists local governments to solve that issue by melting down illegal guns.”

The metal recovered from the melted guns is turned into a special powder from which a new metal, called Humanium, is produced.

“We’re now in the process of using this metal to create coins instead of our traditional raw materials such as Gold, Copper and Silver,” Ms Mulon revealed. “Production of coins using Humanium is difficult as it’s a new metal, but it’s an initiative that we’re proud to be involved with.”

In closing, Ms Mulon reiterated the company’s competitive qualities. “There are no other companies in Europe or worldwide with a story like ours and products like ours. We have a reach that nobody else has.

“I’m proud to work for Samlerhuset Group; I enjoy the fact that it’s a responsible company that thinks about its responsibilities and the future, and which likes to make a big impact on the key issues within its industry. And of course, I love the product: It’s small, intricate artwork on small pieces of metal!” n
