Royal Touch Joins Responsible Jewellery Council
Royal Touch LLC, a gemstone dealer specializing in tanzanite, Ceylon sapphire, alexandrite, ruby, and emerald, has announced its membership in the Responsible Jewellery Council, the industry’s standards authority on sustainability. Certification from the council, bestowed by independent auditors, will be valid for three years.
“We want to lead by setting an example,” said Ashish Rawat, director of Royal Touch, in a statement. “We are very committed to responsible business practices, and we do engage with our key stakeholders in this, especially with our clients. We wanted to step up on our brand promise by really showing proof that we have the right processes and practices in place when it concerns responsible business practices—independent, audited certification on those practices is therefore key for us. We conduct our business according to three business principles related to our sustainability strategy embedded in our overall philosophy: people, planet, and product.”
