Ethical commitment
RESPONSIBLE JEWELLERY COUNCIL POLICY
HUBLOT is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an organization gathering more than 260 professionals worldwide committed to the protection of ethics, human rights, social rights and good environmental practices throughout the chain of gold and diamond production, from mines to retail trade. The Council has developed the RJC system, a certification process which applies to all member companies which participate in the logistics chain of gold and diamond jewelry. In order to obtain Certified Member status in the RJC system, all Commercial Members must undergo an audit by third-party auditors who are accredited to assess their adherence to the RJC’s Code of Practices.
THE KIMBERLEY PROCESS
The Kimberley Process is an international certification system created to prevent the trade of “conflict diamonds” (also known as “blood diamonds”). Launched in 2003, it seeks to ensure that the sale of diamonds does not contribute to the funding of armed conflicts, imposing strict requirements on participants, in particular governmental supervision on the import and export of uncut diamonds, and full traceability from the mine to marketplace.
