Beauty and sustainability
The jewellery and watch industry has a larger ambition to contribute to a better, fairer world. Since 2005, the industry has shifted sustainability from an afterthought to a major driving force of change. RJC’s standards are at the heart of that change.
RJC’s standards enable companies, from mining to retail, to integrate responsible business practices into their management systems and daily operations. There are two standards available to RJC members: RJC Code of Practices (COP) and RJC Chain of Custody (CoC).
- RJC Code of Practices Standard (COP): enable ethical, social, human rights and environmental practices.
- RJC Chain of Custody Standard (CoC): enable fully traceable and responsibly sourced practices.
