About Responsible Jewellery Council

Responsible Jewellery Council is the leading standards organisation of the
global jewellery and watch industry. It has more than 1,900 member companies
in 73 countries, that span the jewellery supply chain from mine to retail. RJC
Members commit to and are independently audited against the RJC Code of
Practices - an international standard on responsible business practices for
diamonds, coloured gemstones, silver, gold and platinum group metals. The Code
of Practices (COP) addresses human rights, labour rights, environmental
impact, mining practices, product disclosure and many more important topics in
the jewellery supply chain. RJC also works with multi-stakeholder initiatives
on responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence. The RJC's
Chain-of-Custody Certification (COC) for precious metals supports these
initiatives and can be used as a tool to deliver broader member and
stakeholder benefit. Through the implementation of the COP and COC members
contribute towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations
2030 agenda. RJC's Roadmap 2030 is a framework for our industry with respect
to the most impactful contributions our members can make through their supply
chains. Impacts deepen consumer confidence and are linked to priority SDGs,
they are presented according to the five pillars of sustainable development -
People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships. RJC launched the SDG
Taskforce, an industry-wide action platform to advance the sustainability
agenda and benchmark progress in the jewellery and watch supply chain.

 

RJC is a Full Member of the ISEAL Alliance - the global association for
sustainability standards and RJC is a member of the United Nations Global
Compact (UNGC) since 2009. RJC and UNGC entered into a first-of-its-kind
strategic partnership in 2020 and launched the 'SDG Innovation & Impact in
the Jewellery Industry" programme. In 2021 RJC deepened this commitment by
supporting the UNGC SDG Ambition global impact initiative to accelerate
integration of the 17 SDGs into core business management. SDG Ambition enables
companies to move beyond incremental progress and step-up transformative
change - unlocking business value, building business resilience, and enabling
long-term growth.
