Reflecting upon the insightful Roundtable hosted by ORIGINALLUXURY, it is clear that our industry is making meaningful strides towards transparency and traceability within the luxury sector. The day was replete with enriching conversations and shared knowledge from an array of stakeholders hailing from diverse sectors including diamonds, watches, jewellery, gold, textiles, blockchain technology, and perfumery.
This collaborative approach to problem-solving and the adoption of best practices are indeed the keys to enhancing traceability and transparency in our luxury industry, ensuring we continue to deliver products of uncompromising quality that are ethical, sustainable and traceable.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to ORIGINALLUXURY for curating such a thought-provoking platform. Margot Stuart and Hans Schwab of OriginAll S.A., Professors Felicitas Morhart, Founder of The Swiss Center for Luxury Research and Jean-Philippe Bonardi, Director of Enterprise for Society Center (E4S) from HEC Lausanne – The Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Lausanne, and Prof. Stéphane J.G. Girod from IMD for their unwavering dedication to this cause.
We look forward to future dialogues and collaborations that will undoubtedly pave the way for a more transparent, traceable, and ethical luxury industry.
