Piaget

• Risk across the industry, not a finding about this company: gold and gemstone mining are linked to child labour, forced labour and mercury poisoning.
• 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. Source
• Owns or runs its own production
• Modern slavery statement
• Uses high-risk raw materials such as tanned leather, mica or artisanal gold.
• "Made in Switzerland" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, watch movements, cases and dials, and cast or set parts can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good.
• It is Responsible Jewellery Council certified, but its stones and gold aren't traced to the mine. The Kimberley Process only covers diamonds that fund rebel wars, not abuses by governments or forced labour.

Research notes Piaget makes its movements at La Cote-aux-Fees and its watches and jewellery at its manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates near Geneva, both its own Swiss sites. An RJC member since 2005, it holds RJC Code of Practices certification to November 2027 and Chain of Custody certification for gold and platinum from January 2026; it says all fine gold it buys follows the RJC Chain of Custody standard and requires diamond suppliers to be RJC certified. It calls tracing all raw materials a long-term goal, does not trace diamonds to the mine, and publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment.
