Driving sustainable metal sourcing by transcending physical boundaries
This certificate, available for Silver, Gold, Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium, is transferable only when linked to a metal transaction from Umicore to the certificate's beneficiary. Essentially, it functions as a metal transaction-backed book & claim certificate.
The availability of Book & Claim certificates correlates with the production levels at Umicore Precious Metals Refining, Hoboken, Belgium. However, these certificates are not directly tied to the physical flow of refined precious metals from our production facilities. Instead, they can be associated with precious metals of equivalent quality, responsibly sourced from other refiners and currently held by us.
This solution is crucial for non-physical precious metals transactions, further improving the responsible and sustainable sourcing of these metals.
The Book & Claim certificates are offered by Umicore Precious Metals Refining, using the ISO14021 definition of recycled material.
Book & claim is one of the Chain of Custody standards as described in ISO22095.2020 and PwC will be appointed to audit and certify this solution.
Characteristics

What our customers say
Nexyclus Book & Claim offers me the handling flexibility I need for my day-to-day activities, whilst adhering to AML/KYC rules.
I would compare this to the Fair Trade mark, but here with the underlying metal transactions it tops in terms of responsible sourcing.
Chartering in a plane for a couple of kg PGM does not make sense from an ecological point of view. If Umicore can show proof of responsible sourcing, Book & Claim does the job for me.
