raw materials

At Boucheron, we believe that preserving what is precious begins with transparency and responsibility. Our supply chain spans diverse regions of the world, where gemstones and precious metals are sourced.

the context

Precious raw materials, essential to our creations, often come from complex and opaque supply networks that present significant challenges to achieving sustainability goals.
To ensure the integrity of our sourcing, we are committed to enhancing traceability and accountability throughout the value chain. By engaging with suppliers and industry peers, we aim to strengthen resilience and drive meaningful improvement across the sector. Indeed, the traceability of our raw material means little if we cannot actively drive positive changes at every step. This report highlights our commitment to a culture of change and a new paradigm in supplier collaboration, reflecting our dedication to progress.

traceability of raw materials

Boucheron publicly set an ambitious target in 2022: By the end of 2025, we aimed to achieve 100% traceability for our key raw materials, including gold, platinum, center diamonds, and colored gemstones for our Jewelry line. Strengthening this level of transparency will not only enhance accountability but also support meaningful improvements in environmental, social and ethical practices across our value chain.
To uphold the integrity of our supply chain, Boucheron conducts a rigorous risk identification and analysis process that proactively addresses potential issues. Furthermore, the environmental measurement tool developed by Kering enables us to analyze raw material data, providing a comprehensive understanding of the main impacts at key stages of our supply chain across different regions.
Aligning Boucheron’s supply chain with the most rigorous standards is a fundamental pillar of our sourcing strategy. Our objective is to guarantee that 100% of our strategic suppliers comply with the highest sustainability requirements and the Kering Code of Ethics. To achieve this, we adhere to internationally recognized frameworks and the industry’s best practices that define and reinforce responsible sourcing across all key materials.
