APPLY of the RJC to be The RJC Member Register

        A key principle of RJC has always been inclusivity. That’s why membership is available to organisations, small and large, and from within and outside of the watch and jewellery supply chain. Anyone is welcome, so long as they share our commitment to creating a responsible worldwide supply chain that promotes trust in our industry.
        There are three membership options available – commercial, association and supporter. Whichever membership route you choose, we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
        RJC membership is more than just a pathway to sustainable growth. It gives Members a voice and the ability to shape the future of our industry through their actions.

Organisations that do not meet the requirements for commercial or association membership may apply for RJC Supporter Membership.
        Please note: we do not accept applications from consultants, advisors, third-party auditors, or similar. If you are in any doubt about your eligibility, please contact our Membership and Engagement Team.
