OUR COMMITMENTS
Handed down from generation to generation, our creations are designed to be timeless. Every creation represents a moment, an event, a story, an emotion.
For this reason, our work and our conduct must measure up to the level of trust our customers place in us.
Cartier has always shown the greatest resolve to earn this level of trust through our purchasing activities, fabrication in our workshops and retailing in our boutiques.
We have chosen to formalize our commitments in our Corporate Responsibility policy. This policy is consistent with the objectives of the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) .
Our policy applies to all our product lines, all our activities and all our suppliers, as their day-to-day practices reflect on our Maison. Cartier works in close collaboration with its suppliers to encourage their participation and help them comply with our requirements.
Our commitments...
Fall into 3 major categories:
- Business ethics,
