Preamble:

PAUL WILD GMBH & CO. KG has aligned its Supply Chain Due Diligence communication and reporting on RJC’s Guidance for this subject. As a result, this document recaps the reporting requirements for Tier 2 and downstream companies (PAUL WILD GMBH & CO. KG’s position in the coloured gemstone supply chain).

Reporting:

1. Management Systems:

   PAUL WILD GMBH & CO. KG has created a Supply Chain Policy which has been sent to all its suppliers. The Management responsibility for the due diligence programme has been assigned to the company’s CEO, and adequate record-keeping systems and processes for information collection have been installed as per the Company’s procedures for this subject.

2. Risk Assessment:
   In preparation for its RJC audit, PAUL WILD GMBH & CO. KG has reached out to all of its suppliers by sending them its Supply Chain Policy and a Due Diligence Questionnaire, both accompanied by an explanatory letter regarding RJC’s COP 7 and the company’s obligations in this regard. We are experiencing some difficulties in obtaining timely responses from certain suppliers, primarily due to a lack of knowledge in this area, but we are striving to achieve 100% completion of supplier responses.
   
   To date, no risks (neither actual nor potential) have been identified, but the Company will continue to check supplier’s information (whether in a formal or in an informal way) to maintain compliance.

Response:  

To date, no specific risks have been identified in our supply chain, and as such, no specific extra steps needed to be undertaken by the Company to manage risks, monitor and track the performance of risk mitigation, or follow up on any specific risk areas.

Kirschweiler, effective March 31^st 2026
