Chopard

• Passes the raw-material check for jewellery and watches: conflict-free diamonds, gems and gold traced to the mine, lab-grown, recycled or Fairmined (the Kimberley Process alone isn't enough).
• Responsible Jewellery Council certified: Industry code for jewellery businesses covering human rights and responsible sourcing. Its Chain of Custody standard traces materials; the basic certification does not.
• Owns or runs its own production
• Modern slavery statement
• Traces high-risk raw materials to the mine or farm and fixes problems found
• Invests in worker and farming communities
• Uses recycled metals or fibres
• Uses high-risk raw materials such as tanned leather, mica or artisanal gold.
• Shows where its earlier production stages happen (materials and components), and they're in low-risk countries or independently audited

Research notes Chopard says all its pieces are handcrafted in its own workshops in Meyrin (Geneva) and Fleurier, Switzerland, and Pforzheim, Germany, with an in-house gold foundry; shares count these three workshops, as it gives no split. Since 2018 it has used only 'ethical' gold, and in 2025 84% came from Swiss Better Gold accredited artisanal mines in Colombia and Peru, with premiums paid to mining communities. Most diamond and gemstone suppliers are RJC certified, but stones are not yet traced to the mine. It publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment.
