Ethical and Responsible Sourcing Policy

At Howard Fine Jewellers, we are committed to sourcing natural diamonds and diamond jewelry in a manner that upholds the highest standards of ethics, legality, and sustainability.

1. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

We ensure that all diamonds and diamond jewelry are sourced through supply chains that fully comply with applicable international and local laws, including those governing labor, trade, and environmental protection.

2. Respect for Human Rights

We partner exclusively with suppliers who demonstrate a clear commitment to human rights. This includes prohibiting child labor, forced labor, and discrimination, and ensuring safe and fair working conditions throughout the supply chain.

3. Environmental Responsibility

We strive to minimize environmental impact by working with suppliers who adopt responsible mining and manufacturing practices. This includes efforts to reduce carbon emissions, manage waste responsibly, and protect biodiversity.

4. Transparency and Traceability

We maintain transparency in our sourcing practices and require documentation from our suppliers to verify the origin and ethical handling of all diamonds. We prioritize traceable supply chains and encourage the use of blockchain and other technologies to enhance accountability.

5. Preferred Partnerships

We recommend and prioritize sourcing loose diamonds and non-branded jewelry through members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), in alignment with the Natural Diamond Council’s standards.

6. Continuous Improvement

We regularly review and update our sourcing practices to reflect evolving best practices and stakeholder expectations. Our team is trained to uphold these standards and to engage suppliers in continuous improvement.

This policy reflects our dedication to responsible business practices and our commitment to offering our clients ethically sourced, beautiful natural diamonds.
