UN confirms CIBJO’s special consultative status

16-5-2018

 

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) has confirmed the World Jewellery Confederation, CIBJOs special consultative status for the coming four years.

 

ECOSOC is one of the six main organs of the United Nations (UN) and works as the principal body for coordination, policy review, policy dialogue and recommendations on economic, social and environmental issues and implementation of the UN's internationally agreed development goals.

 

“Our objective has been to expand the popular narrative about our product and our business, both inside the jewellery and gemstone industry, and in the wider community, as to what our responsibilities and potentials are when it comes to CSR and sustainability,” said CIBJO president Gaetano Cavalieri. CIBJO joined the prime minister of Fiji for the promotion of a sustainable pearl industry at the Oceans Conference at the United Nations in New York last year.
