Money laundering

We encourage our business partners to conduct thorough due diligence and follow the principles of “Know Your Counterparty” and maintain records of transactions to avoid working with organisations or individuals who are involved in the illicit movement of money. Our policies, procedures and internal controls are designed to ensure compliance with all applicable UK Money Laundering regulations.

Environment

We encourage our suppliers to understand the challenges the industry faces and promote responsible environmental practices. We believe that a business should protect, and where possible, improve the environment, promote sustainable development, and prevent the wasteful use of natural resources.

Conflict-Free Diamond Policy

Our Company has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds. All suppliers must comply with the Kimberley Process (www.kimberleyprocess.com).

Gold Sourcing

We aim to ensure that our gold and other metals come from suppliers that meet human rights, social, and environmental best practice. We achieve this by using reputable and fully recognised responsible suppliers.

Gemstones

To the extent feasible under prevailing industry practices, we ensure that gemstones are mined in a manner that respects human and labour rights, are conflict-free and do not inflict environmental damage. We also expect suppliers to respect applicable international sanctions related to the sourcing, trade, or sale of gemstones irrespective of where those stones have been cut and exported from.

Halmarking

We ensure that where applicable under the Hallmarking Act of 1973 our products are hallmarked at a UK Assay Office

The Chief Executive Officer has been designated as the director responsible for ensuring that the company adhere to our Responsible Trading policy.
