UL STR Responsible Sourcing (UL STR RS) has become the first auditing firm accredited by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) to verify members' compliance to the RJC System. 

The RJC System is a certification system that applies to all members' businesses that contribute to the diamond, gold, and platinum group metals jewellery supply chain.  The goal is to promote responsible ethical, human rights, social, and environmental practices throughout the jewellery supply chain from mine to retail.

The RJC accreditation extends to 245 UL STR auditors located in 30 countries around the world. With this accreditation, UL STR RS can begin working immediately with RJC's members to complete the independent third party verification process required by the RJC System to become certified.
