WHY RJC MATTERS
Build Trust and Credibility
The RJC is the global standard for responsible and sustainable business practices in the jewellery and watch industry. By becoming a member, your company joins a prestigious network that prioritizes transparency, integrity, and ethical business practices, enhancing your reputation in an increasingly values-driven market.
Unlock New Opportunities
RJC certification offers a competitive edge. As the global marketplace shifts toward sustainability, consumers, retailers, and brands are looking for partners who prioritize responsible sourcing and ethical operations. Membership can open doors to new markets, partnerships, and customers who value these principles.
Stay Ahead of Regulation
RJC’s Code of Practices is aligned with the OECD and UN guidelines, helping you navigate and stay ahead of an evolving regulatory landscape. Compliance with these international standards not only ensures smooth operations but also demonstrates your company’s commitment to global best practices.
Why It Matters Now
In today’s global marketplace, businesses that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices are the ones thriving. RJC membership strengthens your company’s reputation and provides a competitive advantage. As consumer demand for responsible sourcing continues to rise, being part of the RJC positions your company as a forward-thinking leader in the diamond and jewellery industries, in Bourses, factories and ateliers worldwide. Martello Risk Limited is a trusted service provider known to the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) for its expertise in preparing companies for the stringent RJC due diligence process.
- With deep knowledge of the jewellery industry’s ethical and sustainability standards, Martello Risk can guide your company through the comprehensive requirements needed to obtain or renew RJC certification.
- Our team at Martello Risk offers a turnkey solution, managing the preparation process from start to finish, ensuring that your business meets the high ethical and compliance standards set by the RJC.
- While we provide full support in compiling and preparing the necessary due diligence documentation, it is the RJC itself that evaluates and processes each application independently.
