The Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 (WJI 2030) unites 70+ global watch and jewellery firms to drive sustainability. Partnering with South Pole, it created the Impact Action Journey Framework to guide climate, nature, social action and regulatory compliance.
WJI 2030 supports watch & jewellery companies at all stages of their sustainability journey, in building climate resilience. To provide clear, actionable guidance, it partnered with South Pole to develop the Impact Action Journey Framework, helping members turn climate commitments into results.

Impact Framework milestones designed for companies of all sizes and maturities
This comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap is designed to empower companies, regardless of their starting point, to take measurable action under the interconnected pillars of climate, nature and human rights. The framework provides tailored pathways for both small and large companies, ensuring relevance and accessibility.
It offers clear guidance across WJI 2030's three core pillars: supporting companies in building climate resilience (e.g., setting science-based targets), preserving resources (e.g., developing a high-level nature roadmap) and fostering inclusiveness (e.g., conducting human rights due diligence). Crucially, the framework connects companies with practical resources and tools to translate ambition into tangible action.
Throughout the development, our experts worked in close partnership with key WJI 2030 stakeholders. This ensured the framework was not only robust and practical but also seamlessly aligned with the initiative's overarching strategy. The Impact Action Journey Framework was officially launched via an engaging webinar, equipping members with the knowledge and tools necessary to accelerate their positive impact across their value chains.
The Impact Action Journey Framework provides industry players with a clear, actionable and tailored path forward. By demystifying complex sustainability commitments and offering practical support, the framework empowers companies to accelerate their progress on climate, nature, and social inclusion. This enables WJI 2030 to more effectively drive collective action and achieve its ambitious vision for a sustainable watch and jewellery sector.
The Impact Action Journey Framework is a cornerstone in advancing actionable and transparent reporting, while building capacity as companies navigate this complex journey.
With tailored pathways, step-by-step guidance, and robust capacity-building tools, it empowers organisations—both SMEs and large enterprises—to meet sustainability goals and unlock new opportunities through transparency and collaboration.
