Pepita is a traceability protocol for commodity operations that leverages blockchain technology to provide security and a streamlined environment for value preservation.
Its mission is to generate positive impact in a sector that already exists, will continue to exist, but has the potential to transform.
In 2023, the rise in gold prices encouraged companies in the sector to expand resources and make their operations more sustainable. Gold led commodity exploration budgets, with a focus on both organic and inorganic growth. Despite support for margins, inflation pushed up global production costs (AISC).
Annual demand for gold increased by 17% in 2022, driven by central bank purchases and retail investments. However, in the first nine months of 2023, there was a 3% decline due to ETF outflows, although demand remained above the 2019–2021 average.
What Are the Next Steps for Mining Companies in the Climate Transition?
The adoption of the Responsible Gold Mining Principles encourages alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Gold companies that implement the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs), launched by the World Gold Council, indirectly contribute to several United Nations SDGs due to the overlap between the two frameworks.

Pepita’s Sustainability Target
Pepita has developed a 20-year investment plan that ensures full transparency and real-time traceability. Thirteen dedicated accounts were created to detail and monitor each segment of the budget directly on the blockchain.
All financial movements can be tracked in real time through the smart contract:

Pepita begins its ESG investment journey by supporting environmental regeneration projects, aiming to eliminate operations that use mercury and degrade ecosystems.

The proposal is to introduce a new way of viewing commodities, positioning Pepita as a movement for change that starts in Brazil and echoes globally.
Warrant I Project – Biome Regeneration
The Warrant I Project aims to positively impact gold custody by developing an innovative solution for washing mineral waste in areas devastated by mining activity. The project promotes the regeneration of affected biomes, including the production of fertilizer as one of its outputs.
Additionally, by recovering degraded areas, it has the potential to generate carbon credits and contribute to regional biodiversity.
The project is expected to deliver 700 tons of gold ore tailings throughout 2025, and you will be able to follow its progress on the Special Projects page.
