Tiffany Joins the Swiss Better Gold Association
Tiffany & Co. has a long-standing history of supporting industry leaders in advancing responsible mining practices.

In December 2025, Tiffany & Co. continued this legacy with a Swiss Better Gold Association membership.
The Swiss Better Gold Association is a nonprofit organization that supports the creation of responsible gold value chains, from mine to market, to ensure traceability and transparency in the global gold trade.

Craft: Métiers d’Excellence Program Expands to Japan
Launched in September 2022, Tiffany & Co. pioneered the introduction of LVMH’s Métiers d’Excellence (ME) program to the United States. The inaugural cohort in New York provided apprentices with a robust foundation in luxury craftsmanship through a partnership with the Fashion Institute of Technology. Following this success, the program expanded to Rhode Island, collaborating with the renowned Rhode Island School of Design to further cultivate emerging talent.
In 2025, the ME program launched in Tiffany & Co. Japan with a workshop including hand engravers from our Tiffany Service Center in Tatsumi, where we shared Tiffany’s legacy artistry behind hand engraving. This initiative reflects the growing momentum to share our savoir faire and mentorship with the next generation on a global scale. Graduates from these programs are integral to Tiffany’s operations, contributing their highly refined skills to the creation of products with significant complexity, epitomizing the unrivaled craftsmanship for which Tiffany is known.
Tiffany & Co.’s Commitment to Human Rights
Tiffany & Co. is committed to respecting human rights and supporting the protection of the environment across our global operations and supply chain. This respect is embedded in our culture and values, and it shapes how we operate and how we engage with our employees, customers, suppliers and communities.
Tiffany & Co.’s approach to responsible sourcing centers on ethical, lawful and transparent procurement that supports human rights, strong labor standards and environmental protection across the supply chain. Tiffany’s Social and Environmental Accountability Program (SEA Program) aims to embed responsible sourcing expectations across our supplier base, including key partners involved in the production of finished goods, components, raw and processed materials, packaging and select service providers, through strengthening policies and standards, monitoring and continuous improvement.
In 2025, Tiffany & Co. completed a full value-chain Human Rights and Environmental Risk Assessment to identify and prioritize salient risks, informing a new Human Rights Policy.
