Gold Supply Chain
We are aware of the issues being raised over mining practices and we take them very seriously.
We were a founding member of the Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices in May 2005. This group was created specifically to promote responsible business practices throughout the gold and diamond jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail. For further details regarding the Council’s mission statement, founding members, and other information, click here or please visit www.responsiblejewellery.com.
In November 2005 Jewelers of America, of which Signet is a member, wrote to Dennis Hastert, speaker of the House of Representatives, to register opposition to the mining provisions within the House Budget Reconciliation Bill (H.R.4241).

It was announced on 14 December 2005 that Congressman Jim Gibbons (R-Nev.) has dropped an amendment to the House Budget Reconciliation Bill that would have revamped federal mining laws.
