(IDEX Online) - The Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) has announced it will unveil its latest retailer initiatives and resources at The Plumb Club pavilion during the 2020 JCK show.
The not-for-profit organization will have a booth where it will meet with companies about RJC certification, integrating sustainability into their operations - and building trust and confidence with consumers.
RJC will also share Information about best practices and how the implementation of the RJC standards support the global agenda of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Plumb Club recently voted to require all new and existing members to become certified members of the RJC.
Victor Weinman, chair of The Plumb Club Pavilion said the presence of RJC enhances its commitment to retailers for responsible sourcing. "By having the RJC in our Pavilion we will provide the retailer the opportunity to better understand the future of RJC in the American jewelry marketplace," he said.
"A shift in mindset is required and the younger generation is leading the way," said RJC executive director Iris Van der Veken. "This is the era of action, accountability, trust, and transparency. Our collective response is critical for future generations. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with The Plumb Club to promote responsible business practices through the jewelry supply chain, from mine to retail."
