RJC Code of Practices
Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC)
Overview
The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) is a standard-setting organisation for the jewellery and watch industry. The RJC Code of Practices establishes benchmarks for responsible business practices throughout the jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail. It sets out a common standard for ethical, social, human rights and environmental practices. Certification against the Code of Practices is mandatory for all RJC member companies.
TDi is experienced in carrying out assessments against the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) Code of Practices.

Preparation for Responsible Jewellery Council audits
Henig Diamonds
TDi worked with this London-based firm to train their employees for the RJC audit, rewriting many of their policies and procedures, and unravelling the compliance requirements for business partners for whom they sold diamonds but did not control the supply chain. Henig was approved for a three-year certification.
Diamonds Direct
This busy New York based diamond dealer had a short timeframe in which to prepare for their RJC audit. The TDi team quickly delved into the heart of their organisation and marshalled their existing evidence and documentation. We prepared template documents and personnel training material and we carried out a mock-audit, highlighting any potential non-compliance points. The TDi team was delighted that the RJC audit was a complete success and Diamonds Direct gained certification without any non-conformances.
Eurocantera Mines
TDi worked with this unique small family-owned mining business in Honduras to comply with the RJC standards on their first attempt. We are proud to have helped Eurocantera get it ‘right first time’ and they passed the audit with a clean bill of health. Furthermore, Eurocantera was the first-ever RJC gold mining member to be fully Chain of Custody Certified, a factor in the successful business relationship it has built with the luxury French brand, Cartier.
Goldlake
An Italian-based small refiner seeking RJC Code of Practices and Chain of Custody for the first time reached out to TDi. As well as ensuring its legacy facilities in the gold town of Arezzo, Italy passed the scrutiny of RJC auditors without any issues, the TDi team assisted the company in becoming one of the first RJC members to achieve Chain of Custody. Goldlake IP was awarded the maximum length of certification in the RJC system.
