Cartier, Kering and the Responsible Jewellery Council (JRC) have launched the “Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030” to set “global Sustainable Development Goals and aspirations for a sustainable industry,” Rough & Polished reports.
The Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030 essentially invites “all watch and jewellery brands with a national and international footprint willing to commit to a set of ambitious and common objectives in three areas: building climate resilience, preserving resources, and fostering inclusiveness.”
Cyrille Vigneron, President and CEO of Cartier, commented: “As the watch and jewellery sector relies on the earth’s precious resources and people’s know-how around the world within its value chains, the imperative to act together in creating a more positive impact has become ever clearer.”
