The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) announced that Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Swiss watch 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.
“RJC warmly congratulates Jaeger-LeCoultre on its certification. The successful verification assessment of Jaeger-LeCoultre was conducted by Michel Mooser from SGS, one of the independent third-party auditing firms accredited to the RJC’s Member Certification System,” says Michael Rae, RJC’s Chief Executive Officer.
“Since 1833 and the opening of Antoine LeCoultre’s workshop in the heart of the Swiss Jura, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been committed to respecting the environment, and in the first place, its immediate environment, the Vallée de Joux and its inhabitants. All along the years, ‘La Grande Maison’ has been striving for creating products of always better quality and longer durability. All along the years, ‘La Grande Maison’ has been putting its inventiveness in the service of a better integration of people and environment in its development. The RJC certification sounds therefore like a recognition of our ethical engagement and at the same time like an encouragement to go forward,” says Jérôme Lambert, CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre.
