The WJI2030 team and members of the Initiative, including representatives from many of the world’s leading watch, jewellery and diamond brands, came together in an inaugural workshop in Paris in October to review the current sustainability scene in the watch and jewellery industry, to shape a vision for creating positive impact, provide updates on their governance structure, and to advance a shared focus through collaboration and partnerships. 

“We thank our members as well as Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Arabesque (ESG Book), BSR, Hill & Co for joining us in person (and remotely) for the first Members’ Workshop at Kering in Paris. Thank you Marie-Claire Daveu for hosting us in your beautiful premises,” said WJI2030 Executive Director Iris Van Der Veken.

“This is the beginning of an exciting journey towards 2030. We have an important mission to leave no one behind. The time is now.”
