Industry Leadership

As a leader in the luxury industry, we recognize the opportunity we have to influence culture and set the standards for excellence—not only in fine jewelry and craftsmanship but also in what it means to be responsible corporate citizens. Unlike other jewelers, we have implemented a vertical integration model that gives us a strong chain of custody, direct oversight of our manufacturing and a voice for improving global standards and conditions.

Whether it’s protecting pristine landscapes like Yellowstone National Park and Bristol Bay from the damaging effects of mining or voicing support for the protection of human rights in Angola and Zimbabwe, we advocate for important issues and encourage others to join us in creating meaningful change. We understand that the long-term resilience of our planet and its natural resources, the well-being of our people and the success of our business go hand-in-hand, which is why it is key for us to have a positive impact where we operate.

Responsible Mining

We believe fine craftsmanship starts with
responsibly sourcing high-quality raw materials
and continues through the creation of the final
piece of jewelry. We source the majority of
our rough diamonds and metals directly from
mines we know and from recycled sources. We
are devoted to better understanding the social,
economic and environmental impact of the
mining and processing of precious materials
so that we can create positive change along the
supply chain, all the way from the mine to our
customers.

Tiffany Diamonds

At Tiffany & Co., we are committed to sourcing high-quality diamonds
with integrity. We value traceability and the importance of knowing
the origin of our diamonds from the moment they are unearthed as
rough stones and throughout their journey to polished gems and final
designs. That’s why, to start with, our diamonds are only sourced from
countries that are full participants in the Kimberley Process
Certification Scheme. But we don’t just stop there. We go above and
beyond the Kimberley Process—with our own chain of custody
controls and by advocating for stronger global standards—to ensure
that human rights and the environment are protected. We also
strongly believe in investing in the local communities in which we
operate through local hiring, fair wage practices and training and
development at our diamond cutting and polishing workshops
around the world.

Making Our Iconic Blue Boxes and Bags Green

We work to ensure that our Blue Boxes and bags are made with paper from sustainable sources and recycled materials. We seek to advance the use of sustainably sourced paper and wood-fiber materials used in our business to reduce our environmental footprint.

Monitoring Our Supply Chain

At Tiffany & Co., we manufacture the majority of our products ourselves, and cut and polish diamonds at our own workshops. We also make it our business to get to know who we work with. Through our Social Accountability Program, we work with a key subset of suppliers to review and help them improve their human rights, labor and environmental performance wherever they operate around the world.

Our Employees

Our company is only as strong as our employees and at Tiffany & Co., we prioritize building and nurturing a culture of excellence across our operations. From the sales professionals who begin their careers and retire with us to our newest designers, we are proud of our employees and know that they share our collective values of respect, inclusiveness, excellence and responsibility.

We value diversity and inclusion because we believe each of our employees can make a unique contribution to our Company and the Tiffany brand. We recognize each employee’s knowledge and skills as an important source of organizational capability and competitive advantage, ensuring there are broad training and development opportunities at all levels.

Through our support of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals, we are advancing our longstanding commitment to women’s rights, human rights and diversity and inclusion to help ensure equal opportunities for men and women to reach their full potential in the workplace.

Governance

Tiffany has a long legacy of operating as a responsible corporate citizen. Our sustainable practices are incorporated into the culture of our organization. With leadership from the CSR Committee of the Board of Directors, the CEO, the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) and Senior Management, Tiffany seeks to integrate and align environmental and social efforts into its long-term business objectives and practices. Our directors, officers and employees are committed to the ethical principles embodied by our Company practices and standards.
