Maison Nouvel Héritage, through the MCGP Group, has always accorded great importance to corporate social and environmental responsibility. It respects the highest standards of integrity and ethics. All Nouvel Héritage jewelry is made from 750/1000 recycled gold and adorned with GVS quality diamonds.
Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC)
In 2014, the Group's workshops were awarded the Code of Practices (CoP) certification by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), the leading global standards organization for the jewelry industry. Its aim is to define responsible, ethical and environmental practices that respect human and labor rights. The Chain of Custody (CoC) certification, obtained by our workshops in 2020, guarantees that the materials used are of known origin and processed in compliance with the ethical and environmental standards established by the RJC.
The Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process is an international rough diamond certification protocol designed to ensure that diamonds do not come from mines controlled by rebel groups. This certificate attests that the sale of rough diamonds is not used to finance armed conflict, and prevents conflict diamonds from entering the legal market. Maison Nouvel Héritage is committed to transparent practices and its jewelry is made using only diamonds that fully comply with the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.
BREEAM Certification
The Group is aware of its impact on the environment and is committed to acting with respect for all territories in which it operates. BREEAM certification is an international standard that evaluates the environmental performance of buildings and infrastructures. One of the Group's two factories has been awarded this certification, with a "Very Good" rating, recognizing the Group's efforts and actions to protect the environment. We are now aiming for an "Excellent" rating at our second factory.
