CIBJO Reopens Consultation On Blue List, Seek Wider Industry Feedback On Standardized Terminology
Goal Is To Produce A Lexicon Of Terms That Can Be Practically Applied and Comprehended Worldwide
CIBJO has launched a second round of public consultation on its “Blue List” lexicon, seeking wider industry feedback on standardised terminology for responsible jewellery supply chains. The goal is to produce a lexicon of terms that can be practically applied and comprehended worldwide, and to do that in the most transparent and inclusive way possible.
The document, called The Responsible Jewellery Supply Chain Lexicon, aims to create a common language for sustainability in the jewellery industry. It focuses on making sure all terms are clear, accurate, and backed by facts, so both industry professionals and consumers can understand them easily.
After the first review phase from May to September 2025—which brought in many suggestions and improvements—the updated version is now open for another round of feedback. While most of the earlier content was well received, some areas needed further refinement.
This consultation will continue until 12 June 2026, bringing together industry stakeholders and external experts to reach a strong consensus before the final version is officially adopted.
