A Lange & Sohne Sustainability Actions

RJC-certified watchmaker

A. Lange & Söhne says it is certified under the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) Code of Practices. The RJC is an industry group that checks whether jewellery and watch companies follow rules on responsible business conduct. The brand says this covers ethical, social, and environmental standards in its work. It also says its commitment to conflict-free diamonds is supported by the System of Warranties and the Kimberley Process, which are systems used to reduce the risk of diamonds funding conflict.

Code of Conduct for decisions

The company says its day-to-day decisions are guided by a Code of Conduct with ethical, social, and environmental standards. It also says its business relationships are built around responsibility across the whole value chain, which means the full path from sourcing to production and delivery. This suggests the brand has formal rules in place for how it works with suppliers and other partners, even though it does not publish detailed performance data on the page shown.

New building met environmental rules

A. Lange & Söhne says its new manufacture building was designed in line with strict environmental standards. The page does not give the exact standard, but it shows the company has tried to build environmental thinking into its facilities, not only into its products. The brand also says it makes sure the raw materials it uses comply with internationally applicable guidelines, although it does not list those guidelines in detail.

Training and in-house education

The company says it trains motivated people in-house and gives them technical education. It also says it supports the strengths and creativity of each person so they can help make its watches. In a separate press release, the brand says its in-house school was renamed the Walter Lange Training and Further Education Centre in 2022. This points to a long-term focus on skills, apprenticeships, and keeping watchmaking knowledge alive.

Local cultural support

A. Lange & Söhne says it supports selected local organisations and initiatives through financial contributions. It says these projects can have social, cultural, or environmental relevance and are linked to its home region. The company also names long-running support for the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Semperoper in Dresden. These partnerships show community and cultural support, although the page does not give spending figures or impact results.

Equal salary recognition

The careers page says A. Lange & Söhne is recognised as an equal salary employer as part of Richemont’s global gender EQUAL-SALARY certification. EQUAL-SALARY is a certification that checks whether women and men are paid equally for the same or similar work. The page does not explain the full audit process, but the claim suggests the brand is part of a wider group-level pay equity effort.
