Compliance & Ethics
We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and responsible business conduct across the jewelry industry.
Responsible Sourcing
We source precious metals and gemstones from suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process and Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) standards. We require conflict-free certifications and chain-of-custody documentation for all materials.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
Core Group Jewelry maintains a comprehensive AML program in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and FinCEN regulations. We verify customer identities, monitor transactions, and file required reports to prevent illicit financial activity.
Know Your Customer (KYC)
All wholesale and retail partners undergo due diligence during onboarding. We collect and verify business licenses, tax identification numbers, and beneficial ownership information before establishing trade accounts.
Data Protection & Privacy
We comply with applicable data protection laws including GDPR for European partners and CCPA for California residents. Personal data is processed lawfully, stored securely, and retained only as long as necessary.
Workplace Safety & Fair Labor
Our manufacturing facilities and partner workshops comply with OSHA standards and local labor laws. We prohibit child labor, forced labor, and discriminatory practices throughout our supply chain.
Environmental Stewardship
We minimize waste, recycle precious metal scrap, and use environmentally responsible refining processes. Our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint across manufacturing, logistics, and corporate operations.
