CME is a family run company, founded in 1978. We aim to conduct our business in a manner which is honest and ethical. We have work with a large number of suppliers from the UK and across the globe, most of whom have supplied us for many years. We expect all of our Suppliers to adhere to the Responsible Business practice standards outlined below. We also expect that our Suppliers will communicate these requirements to all of their Suppliers.
1. Business Practices
2. Human and Labour Rights
Ensure the following:
3. Environmental Protection
4. Sourcing
Diamond Suppliers
Gold, Silver and Precious Gemstone Suppliers
Make best endeavours to ensure:
Gold suppliers should apply the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas Supplement on Gold.
Please note CME Leicester Limited does not ban the use gold and silver that originate in conflict-affected and high-risk areas when they are sourced in accordance with existing international standards. Avoiding the sourcing of all gold and silver from these areas would cause a de facto embargo with serious adverse impact on the living conditions of local populations.
5. Product Disclosure
That all products offered for sale to CME are offered with a complete and accurate disclosure of all relevant information about jewellery products, including the types of treatments used to alter the products appearance. The information must be disclosed for gold, silver, diamonds, treated diamonds, synthetic diamonds and diamond simulants; coloured gemstones and synthetic, imitation, treated, artificial, reconstructed or composite-coloured gemstones. The information must be disclosed for the composition of semi-precious stones and natural substances such as amber, turquoise, etc.
