“We, at Senco Gold and Diamonds have always been committed to ensuring good environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, responsible growth, and sustainability. Joining the RJC is another step in that direction and we are proud to be the first large jewellery retailer from India to become a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, who are working tirelessly towards enhancing trust in the global jewellery industry. Trust is the cornerstone in the world of retail jewellery and we look forward to building on our association with the RJC to create an ecosystem of responsible practices as a core of sustainability strategy and fulcrum of our future endeavours.”
