Chopard, which prides itself on its ethics and sustainability, ensures that all its gems are ethically sourced. All emeralds are responsibly mined at Gemfields’ Kagem mine in Zambia. All diamonds are sourced from a producer who is an RJC-certified member. The gold comes from artisanal mines in South America that are Fairmined-certified.
Since 2013, Chopard has initiated an ambitious project: “The Journey to Sustainable Luxury”, to create a sustainable watches and jewellery industry, bringing together ethics and aesthetics. The partnership with mining company Gemfields is part of this project.
