"Richemont also monitors on-going compliance and adherence of suppliers to its standards related to slavery and human trafficking. In particular, the Maisons regularly conduct third-party audits of their suppliers. Each year, between 100 and 200 external supplier audits, at suppliers not in the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) scope, were carried out on behalf of Richemont’s Maisons. The audits may be announced or unannounced. Richemont does not record the percentage of ‘surprise’ audits or disclose the specific results of its audits. Where concerns related to the Supplier Code of Conduct have been identified, Richemont has held its suppliers accountable through dialogue and follow-up audits."
