Editor’s Note
LS MnM has secured the LBMA’s Good Delivery List certification for the 13th consecutive year, underscoring its longstanding commitment to responsible and ethical practices in the precious metals supply chain. This recognition from the world’s foremost authority highlights the rigorous standards maintained across its operations.
LS MnM announced on the 8th that on June 27 (local time) this year, it was once again recognized as a Good Delivery List (GDL) supplier in the gold sector by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the world’s most authoritative certification body for the precious metals market. This marks the 13th consecutive year the company has received this certification.
The LBMA, headquartered in London, UK, is the most authoritative institution in the global gold and silver markets. It conducts rigorous annual reviews of product quality and manufacturing processes for precious metals producers worldwide.
The GDL selection goes beyond simple quality inspection, strictly reflecting global standards including manufacturing processes, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Obtaining GDL certification signifies responsible management of the supply chain and the establishment of a transparent manufacturing and distribution system. Notably, LS MnM is the only domestic company in South Korea to be selected for the GDL in the gold sector and has maintained this certification for 13 consecutive years.
LS MnM operates a strict raw material procurement policy based on OECD guidelines, excluding conflict minerals and mitigating human rights and environmental risks, thereby leading in ESG management. Last year, the company received the “Copper Mark RRA 3.0” certification, a representative ESG certification in the copper industry, marking the first time a global smelting company achieved this, drawing attention as a model case for global ESG management.
