reasons to join
Wherever you are in the jewellery supply chain, RJC membership is your pathway to sustainable growth
Our membership connects you to a powerful and growing community of brands, suppliers, and companies around the world. Members come together to create a more sustainable and responsible watch and jewellery industry and access learning opportunities, tools, relevant data, insight reports, industry networks, and more.
What differentiates us is that we have one solution for businesses, big or small, to integrate sustainability in its operations. Our standards cover Human Rights, Labour Rights, Health and Safety, Product integrity and many other key topics. It’s critical that companies do not view any of these key issues in isolation. The Code of Practices supports members to be prepared in an evolving regulatory landscape.
