Our Company

Sadly, questionable supply chain practices have too often created social conflict and environmental degradation that have plagued our industry over time. Tiffany & Co. is a leader—both through advocacy and example—in working toward a more responsible jewelry industry. That work began back in 1995, when we opposed the development of a gold mine that threatened Yellowstone National Park. In 1999 we led the effort to seek United States Congressional approval of U.S. participation in the Kimberley Process. We were the first jeweler to embrace the objectives of the No Dirty Gold campaign in 2005, a promise not to source gold from mines that do not meet certain social, human rights and environmental standards. Government oversight has an important role to play in the jewelry supply chain. We are strong and vocal advocates of the reform of the U.S. General Mining Law of 1872, and believe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency should use its legitimate authority to halt reckless mine development.
