GENERATION EQUALITY

The jewellery industry has a particularly strong case for supporting women’s empowerment as women drive demand for more than 90% of the world’s jewellery. The growing conscious consumer movement is demanding for more transparency of information and responsible sourcing is growing and gaining market share.

Responsible Jewellery Council has established a range of approaches to promote and advance women empowerment with its members.

Let’s drive change, champion gender equality and empower women.

Thank you for your continued support.

We are #GenerationEquality – together we can make a real difference.
