"The report includes 39 case studies on how WGC members are bringing about positive change across four thematic areas: global partnerships; social inclusion; economic development and responsible energy use and environmental stewardship.
 
"The World Gold Council has long supported a position that responsible gold mining can support sustained socio-economic development for the communities and countries that host gold mining operations."
 
In addition to the four thematic areas, the report also places the spotlight on three topical themes: artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), how the pandemic has reinforced the very premise of the SDGs and gold's role in innovative technologies, including the energy transition.
