The Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 (WJI 2030) has published its 2025/2026 Progress Report, charting the milestones achieved through collective action across the global watch and jewellery value chain.
The report considers sustainability within an increasingly complex operating environment, shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, evolving regulation and heightened stakeholder expectations. It positions climate, nature, water stewardship and inclusiveness not as standalone considerations, but as interconnected drivers of long-term business resilience and value protection.
It also captures the progress of WJI 2030 and its members across the initiative’s three strategic pillars – Building Climate Resilience, Preserving Resources and Fostering Inclusiveness – and highlights the practical tools, research and partnerships developed to help companies translate commitments into measurable action.
A central focus is the WJI 2030 Impact Action Journey Framework, hosted on the ESG Book digital platform. Designed for organisations at different stages of their sustainability journeys, the tiered framework provides a shared structure through which companies can measure, manage and disclose their performance. WJI 2030 reports that 56 maison and partner members are now voluntarily reporting their actions and progress through the framework.
Rajiv Mehta, CEO of Dimexon and Chair of the WJI 2030 ESG Committee, contributed to the report, underlining the fundamental relationship between transparent reporting and trust: “In today’s environment, transparency is no longer optional; it is the foundation of trust. Reporting is how we demonstrate that our commitments are real, measurable, and progressing. The WJI 2030 Action Framework gives our industry a common language, ensuring that progress can be tracked, compared, and built upon year after year.
“For an industry whose value is so deeply tied to integrity and craftsmanship, this kind of rigorous, transparent reporting is not just good practice – it is who we must be.”
For Dimexon, participation in WJI 2030 reflects our belief that meaningful progress requires both individual accountability and collective action. Common frameworks allow businesses across the value chain to learn from one another, identify areas for improvement and build a clearer picture of progress across the industry.
The report demonstrates what can be achieved when knowledge, resources and experience are shared. It also recognises that this work is a continuing journey, requiring sustained engagement and transparent reporting year after year.
