Sustainability Standars
As a Kering Group company, Pomellato systematically integrates sustainability principles into its operational and decision-making processes by adopting policies, codes and standards established at Group level. These include the Code of Ethics, which has been in place for over 25 years and is regularly updated to reflect developments in the regulatory landscape and stakeholder expectations.
Kering’s framework also encompasses guidelines and procedures covering areas such as the protection of human rights and biodiversity, responsible sourcing, raw material traceability, and the management of activities throughout the value chain. Developed and updated with input from external specialists, these documents are publicly available through the Group’s official channels.
Sustainable Sourcing and Annual Report
TRACEABILITY AND CONTROLS FOR GOLD SOURCING
Since 2018, Pomellato has used gold sourced through selected supply chains that meet stringent specifications approved by the Kering Precious Metals Platform, including traceability criteria, environmental and social requirements, and independent controls. This approach ensures that supply chain management is carried out according to defined and verified criteria.
The majority of the gold used (approximately 95%) consists of recycled gold certified under the RJC Chain of Custody (CoC) standard, while a smaller share comes from artisanal mines (Artisanal and Small-Scale Mines – ASMs) certified Fairmined or Fairtrade. Through these purchases, Pomellato helps fund projects in ASM communities, including initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as projects dedicated to educational development and the promotion of women’s rights in mining communities.
Pomellato is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) under the COP (Code of Practices) and COC (Chain of Custody) standards, demonstrating its commitment to complying with the sustainability and social responsibility requirements set out by these standards.

Giving Human Resources a central role and ensuring unconditional respect for the rights of all are key aspects of Pomellato brand culture, which is why the brand has adopted a code of ethics shared by both managers and employees.
