The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) is a not-for-profit, standards-setting and certification organisation that promotes responsible ethical, social, and environmental practices throughout the global jewellery and watch supply chain. Established in 2005, the RJC is committed to advancing sustainability standards and certification initiatives that build trust in the fine jewellery industry.

Recognised as the world’s leading standard-setting organisation for the jewellery and watch industry, the RJC works with businesses of all sizes to ensure compliance with its Code of Practices (COP)—a comprehensive standard that covers human rights, labour rights, environmental impact, mining practices, and product disclosure.
Companies that meet the RJC’s rigorous criteria receive RJC Certification, a globally respected recognition that demonstrates their commitment to responsible business practices. The RJC certification programs support companies through the entire process, from application to audit, simplifying due diligence and improving transparency.

By becoming an RJC certified member, organisations join a growing community dedicated to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and accountability across the whole-of-supply chain. Whether you’re a manufacturer, retailer, or supplier, the Responsible Jewellery Council offers a path to improve practices and meet the expectations of conscious consumers and stakeholders.
