Ethical Sourcing of Diamonds and Gemstones
At Blancpain, the ethical sourcing of diamonds and precious gemstones is of the utmost importance. We uphold the highest standards by carefully selecting our suppliers, ensuring their strict adherence to ethical principles, applicable laws, and the Swatch Group's Supplier Code of Conduct:
We strongly encourage our suppliers to seek independent certification, which upholds responsible business practices. Furthermore, our diamond suppliers must fully comply with the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), providing certification guarantees that their diamonds originate from legal, conflict-free trade. Established in 2003, the Kimberley Process is an international initiative designed to enhance transparency and eliminate conflict diamonds. Only countries, companies, and merchants adhering to this rigorous certification system are permitted within our supply chain.
