Cultivating secure and ethical supply chains
GOVERNANCE
At Audemars Piguet, we integrate sustainability into the highest decision-making processes with guidance from our ESG team and engagement with a network of external relevant stakeholders. This structure supports the Executive Leadership Team in upholding the highest standards in social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. Committed to ethical and secure supply chains, we collaborate with partners to set responsible industry standards and respect human rights from mine to wrist. By setting and tracking goals, we embed sustainability into our culture, sharing accountability and continuously refining practices to ensure traceability and ethical business conduct.
Respect for human rights is paramount, guiding our zero-tolerance approach to violations throughout our value chain. Our governance structure adheres to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, with transparent reporting on conflict minerals, child labour and other human rights issues.
In 2025, all suppliers will endorse our Supplier Code of Conduct, developed in collaboration with industry partners, underscoring our commitment to a responsible and secure supply chain.
Business ethics are at the heart of our governance framework, establishing clear expectations for fair and responsible practices throughout our value chain. We are currently pursuing an ethical corporate programme to reinforce our commitment to ethical standards. Our Responsible Jewellery Council certification and our memberships in initiatives such as the Swiss Better Gold Association among others, further align our practices with global best practices.
