Standards and certification for responsible practice across the jewellery supply chain
The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), founded in 2005, sets standards and certifies responsible practice across the jewellery supply chain.
What it does
Its Code of Practices covers human rights, labour, environment and business ethics; members are audited independently. It also runs a Chain of Custody standard.
Why it matters to you
RJC certification is widely asked for by large retailers when choosing suppliers.
