The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) today announced that Piaget, the leading Swiss watch and jewellery manufacturer and part of Richemont International SA, has achieved certification meeting the ethical, human rights, social and environmental standards as established by the RJC’s Member Certification System.

More and more Members have commenced the process towards Certification and we look forward to announcing their achievements.

It participates in strongly upholding the philosophy that was introduced by Piaget’s founder, George-Edouard Piaget, which is the concern for the quality of our products and our practices. The certification demonstrates the ongoing engagement of the brand in favour of ethical values and for the protection of the environment. Piaget is proud to be an active member of RJC and to participate in the promotion of responsible practices that are within our domain,” says Philippe Léopold-Metzger, CEO of Piaget.
