Editor’s Note
Bulgari has announced a significant step in its sustainability journey, committing to using only certified gold for its entire jewelry line starting in 2022. This move underscores the luxury sector’s growing focus on responsible sourcing and long-term environmental goals.
The Italian luxury brand Bulgari has announced that from January 1, 2022, it will produce its entire jewelry line using gold sourced exclusively from certified suppliers.
Bulgari has been committed to continuous improvement throughout its value chain. This effort is based on the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) Chain of Custody certification, which the brand, as a member since 2006, has maintained. Since first obtaining the certification in 2015, Bulgari has advocated for the use of responsibly mined gold across its entire supply chain.
Bulgari implements appropriate internal and external management systems to ensure long-term compliance with RJC Chain of Custody standards. It selects materials with Chain of Custody certification at every stage of production, from metal procurement to the final finished product. Furthermore, the company conducts due diligence in line with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, including a specific annex for gold, and implements due diligence across its entire gold supply chain.
