No Forced or Child Labor
Suppliers must never use forced, bonded, indentured, or prison labor. Workers must be free to leave their employment without penalty. Child labor is strictly prohibited. All workers must meet the minimum legal working age or be at least 15 years old (whichever is higher).

Working Hours and Wages
Suppliers must comply with local laws on working hours and overtime. All workers must be paid fairly, at or above the legal minimum wage, and receive all legally mandated benefits and compensation for overtime.

No Discrimination or Harassment
All workers must be treated with dignity and respect. Discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, or other status is not tolerated. Any form of harassment, abuse, or inhumane treatment is strictly prohibited.

Freedom of Association
Workers must be free to join or form unions or similar organizations and engage in collective bargaining, in accordance with local law.

Suppliers are required to provide a safe, clean, and healthy working environment. Facilities must meet all applicable health and safety laws and provide workers with adequate training, protective equipment, and access to clean sanitation facilities.

We expect suppliers to minimize environmental impact by managing emissions, waste, water use, and materials responsibly. Compliance with all environmental regulations is mandatory. Suppliers are encouraged to use recycled and responsibly sourced materials where possible.

All suppliers must maintain accurate records and provide transparency across their sourcing and production processes. Traceability of materials, especially precious metals and gemstones, is essential to ensure responsible origin and processing.

Suppliers must conduct business ethically, without corruption, bribery, or fraud. They must also adhere to all applicable local and international laws. Any subcontracting must be disclosed and approved by Attona Jewelry in advance.

We view our suppliers as long-term partners. We expect proactive engagement, continuous improvement, and open dialogue. Attona reserves the right to review and assess supplier practices at any time and may terminate relationships if breaches are not resolved.

At Attona Jewelry, our commitment to responsible sourcing is built on transparency, trust, and continuous improvement. To ensure that our Supplier Code of Conduct is upheld in practice, we take the following steps:

• We work only with suppliers who demonstrate alignment with our values and responsible practices. Ethical standards, labor conditions, and environmental impact are core criteria in our partner selection process.
  
• We maintain close, collaborative relationships with our suppliers, fostering open communication around expectations, progress, and opportunities for improvement.
  
• Suppliers must be able to present evidence of compliance with our Code of Conduct and provide supporting documentation upon request. This may include policies, certifications, procedures, or audit results.
  
• All suppliers must be audited by an independent, industry-recognized institution, such as the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), and meet all relevant requirements for ethical, social, and environmental performance.
  
• If any concerns are identified, we work constructively with suppliers to address them. In serious or unresolved cases, we may discontinue the partnership.
  
• We believe in continuous learning and improvement. We support our partners in strengthening their operations and building sustainable, responsible practices that last.
