WJI 2030 is pleased to announce the launch of a Pilot on the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive – “Preparing for CSDDD: A Deep Dive on Key Topics”.

We welcome you to watch an Introductory Video from Mr. Didier Reynders, EU Commissioner of Justice, where he stresses the importance of commitment to responsible corporate governance and due diligence, and the opportunity for companies to step up before the Directive is in place. Collaborative action can create a bridge between policy and practice on the ground.

What will the Pilot look at?

What are the key objectives?

What is the main outcome? We will be developing an open-source case study on implementation of the upcoming regulation, in the watch & Jewellery industry, and bring every participant along the journey of learning, on the operationalisation of the new legislation.

On the 10th of April, WJI 2030 held a C-Driven panel at Watches and Wonders and announced the launch of its second annual Stakeholder Report – Report on Progress 2023 – 2024.

Under the moderation of Iris Van der Veken, Executive Director & Secretary General of WJI 2030, an esteemed C-Suite panel of executives took the stage on the topic “Up to 2030: Why Collective Action Matters.” The panel included Cyrille Vigneron, President & CEO of Cartier; Dr Anino Emuwa , Founder of 100 Women @ Davos; Frederic Grangie, CEO of CHANEL Watches & Jewellery; and Dr. Daniel Klier, Advisor to the ESG Committee at WJI 2030.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to strengthen our engagement with key stakeholders while embarking on a journey dedicated to action, collaboration, impact, and transparency. The Stakeholder Report showcases collective progress of the Initiative and our Members in accelerating the pathway on the three strategic pillars – climate resilience, preserving resources and fostering inclusiveness.

Key takeaways from this morning’s panel are that:

As we acknowledge the milestones, we’ve collectively made this year, we remain humble and are committed to support our members on the implementation of the minimum commitments. All the tools and materials we are building will ultimately become open source for the wider industry.
