Our mission is to transform ambition into action – and action into measurable progress. This is a journey of continuous improvement. We champion best practices, cultivate smart partnerships, and co-create solutions collaboratively to advance climate resilience, preserve resources, and foster inclusiveness.

We support companies of all sizes and maturity levels by uniting industry leaders, experts, policymakers, community organizations, academia, and civil society. All tools are developed through multi-stakeholder consultation and are open source, enabling the industry to work together, share knowledge, and drive progress across sectors.

Our strategies and roadmaps are grounded in leading frameworks, including the Science Based Targets initiative, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and the Women’s Empowerment Principles. These efforts culminate in our Impact Action Journey Framework on ESG Book, translating strategy into tangible results through accountability and transparency.

We believe that people and nature are precious. The luxury industry is synonymous with excellence, creativity, longevity and exceptional craftsmanship. It is our role to ensure that these creations also deliver trust and purpose to the consumer. Our industry plays a pivotal role in respecting human rights, protecting the landscapes around us and restoring the resources upon which we depend.

Our vision is to empower companies to build strategies that are resilient in an ever-changing regulatory and stakeholder landscape.

The climate and environmental costs of doing business demand a new mindset. The impacts of extreme weather events and biodiversity loss threaten our shared future and disproportionately affect vulnerable communities.

Trust and integrity are essential to the future of luxury. Across global markets, respect for human rights, and transparent supply chains and production processes are no longer optional. As regulations evolve toward greater transparency and accountability, businesses must adapt, rethink their strategies, and embrace change to ensure long-term resilience and sustainable growth.

We value and promote diverse opinions and perspectives, fostering collaboration and building strong partnerships where everyone can contribute and thrive.

As we move ahead on our journey, we vow to remain steadfast in our values to:

BE TRANSPARENT
to exchange ideas openly and honestly.

STAY COURAGEOUS
to try innovative approaches and embrace bold collaboration.

ELIMINATE BARRIERS
by taking on challenges pragmatically and systematically.

MAKE IT HAPPEN
by moving from words to action.

Strategic partnerships

WJI 2030 is a multi-stakeholder action platform built on the power of partnerships and collaboration.

Strategic partnerships

The complex challenges of climate, nature, and inclusiveness cannot be addressed in isolation. Collaboration is not just a principle – it is a driving force that enables shared and inclusive solutions, measurable progress, and collective impact. We welcome our strong collaboration with The World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) and Union Française de la Bijouterie,  Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie,  des Pierres & des Perles (UFBJOP).

WJI 2030 aligns to globally accepted standards, frameworks and regulatory expectations across climate, nature, and inclusiveness. We build on existing solutions and integrate the strategies within our industry and cross-sectorially.

Since the establishment of WJI 2030, we have set out to create a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder ecosystem that bring together small, medium and large companies across the value chain. WJI 2030 collaborates across sectors with industry leaders, experts, policy makers, community organisations, academia, and civil society.

Since August 2022, WJI 2030 has been a non-business participant of the UNGC and an active advocate for the 10 principles surrounding human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.

In partnership with the UNGC, WJI 2030 created a curated learning space in the UNGC learning academy – the WJI 2030 Solutions Lab for SMEs. This strategic collaboration focuses on educating SMEs on key topics, including decent labour, human rights due diligence, climate action, biodiversity, and inclusiveness with a focus on gender and intersectionality.

Since 2025, WJI 2030 is a proud member of the UNGC Sustainable Procurement Coalition, a cross-sectoral initiative designed to position procurement as a key component in advancing sustainable business practices and enhancing business value and competitiveness.

Since launching our partnership with UN Women in 2023, WJI 2030 has been applying the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) to drive gender equality in the watch and jewellery industry, both through its own commitments and the commitments of member companies.

WJI 2030 and UN Women have been collaborating on various topics including WEPs implementation, Gender Responsive Procurement, development of practical case studies and increased accountability on gender equality reporting across sectors.

The Reporting and Transparency workstream is crucial for delivering on WJI 2030’s mission, as is the strategic partnership between WJI 2030 and ESG Book.

In January 2025, WJI 2030 launched the Impact Action Journey Framework, simplifying reporting efforts for organisations, offering clear pathways to address challenges and unlock opportunities. Key features of the framework include tailored pathways for SMEs and large entreprises, step by step guidance, capacity building, monitoring and disclosure, and a clear link to operationalize legislative requirements through the journey.

This collaboration aims to build a action framework, augmented by a digital reporting solution, establishing a data hub tool for all Members and beyond. With objectives of enhancing transparency in a step-by-step process and addressing evolving regulatory requirements, this framework will be key to preparing companies throughout the supply chain to be fit for purpose.
