ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

Leading with purpose and inspiring change

Our annual progress reports renew our commitment to being a transparent and accountable organisation. They are an opportunity for us to share the challenges to our industry and progress being made by both the RJC and our members. 

The RJC and our members have shared a fundamental commitment to transparency and accountability for progress since our inception. A heightened awareness in recent years for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030 has evolved our performance standards – which focus on responsible Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) business practices – to play an ever more critical role in transforming the sustainability of supply chains.

WHAT WE DO

We work to ensure that responsible standards are upheld right across the global jewellery and watch supply chain

The RJC team is responsible for maintaining and managing the standards. We ensure that our approved auditors effectively assess and confirm compliance with these standards. Subsequently, we issue certifications to members once the necessary due diligence is satisfactorily completed.

We also have an important role to play as the voice for the industry on its most critical Environmental, Social and Government (ESG) issues, helping to accelerate collective progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
