Raw material
Our work relies on finite resources. We aim to manage these materials with the same care applied to the making of our timepieces.
Our craft relies on materials that present specific environmental and social risks. Gold, diamonds, coloured gemstones, leather and wood each entail specific sustainability challenges arising from their extraction and processing, including impacts on biodiversity, water resources, carbon emissions, working conditions and human rights.
To address these challenges, our supply chain approach is built on three complementary pillars: short and transparent sourcing models, a structured responsible sourcing framework, and the integration of circular principles into design and production.
SHORTER CHAINS, STRONGER TRACEABILITY
Most of our social and environmental impacts, as well as related risks, occur within our supply chain. In recent years, we have strengthened our approach by focusing on upstream engagement.
Our supply chain is intentionally compact and built on long-term relationships.
STRUCTURED RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
To address risks linked to sensitive materials, our approach is structured around key reference documents:
• Our Responsible Sourcing Policy
• Our Environmental Policy (2026)
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Circular economy addresses growing pressure on natural resources. It aims to reduce resource use while limiting waste, pollution and impacts on biodiversity.
Our timepieces are designed to last for generations, with the objective of keeping materials in use for as long as possible. Longevity, maintenance and transmission are core to our approach.
We continue to strengthen this approach by reducing our reliance on virgin materials and improving recovery systems. In 2025 we introduced new tools, including a product circularity plan and an ongoing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) programme.
Back to Sustainabilty at Audemars Piguet
Always looking to the future, we will continue to ensure the long-term preservation of our shared skills, heritage, values and purpose, while nurturing our communities towards a sustainable future.
