The Responsible Jewellery Council is a non-profit organization based in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2005. It operates as a global standard-setter for the jewellery and watch industry and its supply chains, developing the Code of Practices that governs ethics and responsible sourcing for primary minerals and metals such as gold, silver, platinum group metals, diamonds, and coloured gemstones. The council positions itself as the industry voice on environmental, social, and governance issues and aims to advance progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030 through its certification processes, which are independently audited and ISEAL-accredited. Its work centers on membership and partnerships that collectively promote sustainable practices across the sector, with activities including governance updates and industry events. The organization serves participants across the jewellery and watch value chain, including manufacturers, retailers, and other stakeholders seeking credible standards and verification of responsible business practices.
