RJC Code of Practices
Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC)
The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) is a standard-setting organisation for the jewellery and watch industry. The RJC Code of Practices establishes benchmarks for responsible business practices throughout the jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail. It sets out a common standard for ethical, social, human rights and environmental practices. Certification against the Code of Practices is mandatory for all RJC member companies.

The ESG Coverage of a standard or regulation outlines the high and mid-level ESG topics that a standard or regulation covers, and at the highest level of analysis, specific binary statements that can be used to determine exactly what the requirements are. These statements are cross-standard compatible, allowing you to compare the exact coverage areas of multiple standards or regulations.
This data has been compiled and is continually updated by analysts at TDi Sustainability, and is backed by decades of standards analysis expertise.
