FURA Gems has been certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) following an independent third-party audit of its operations against the RJC Code of Practices, the industry’s benchmark for responsible sourcing and business ethics.
The certification covers key areas including governance, human rights, labour standards, environmental management and supply chain due diligence. The RJC Code of Practices incorporates globally recognised frameworks such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and IFC Performance Standards.
Donald Bray, Chief Sustainability Officer at FURA Gems, described the certification as “an important milestone” for the company, noting that it reflects strengthened governance, operational controls and a continued focus on transparency and traceability.
According to the RJC, FURA Gems is the first coloured gemstone producer to achieve this certification. Purvi Shah, Executive Director of the RJC, said the achievement demonstrates leadership in responsible business practices and sets a benchmark for the coloured gemstone sector.
FURA Gems operates mining assets in Australia and Mozambique, supplying responsibly sourced rubies and sapphires to global manufacturers and brands. The company has invested in traceability systems, including blockchain-enabled mine-to-market tracking, to meet growing industry expectations.
