SAMUT PRAKAN, Thailand, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today’s consumers demand supply chain transparency. They research how their jewelry and goods are manufactured, and a growing number are willing to pay more for brands that align with their values. That shift places pressure on retailers and brands to back up supplier sourcing claims with accredited third-party verifications consumers can access independently. In response, sterling silver jewelry manufacturing facility Phoenix Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is rising to the occasion by expanding their public-facing transparency framework. The newest addition to their framework is the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) verification for their manufacturing facility in Samut Prakan, Thailand.
SLCP verification is conducted by accredited verifying bodies, including Intertek Thailand. Verifications are accessible through the Fair Factories Clearinghouse, now part of the Worldly platform.
The SLCP assessment collects and verifies information about:
- Fair and ethical employment practices
- Fair and ethical work hours
- Safe and ethical working conditions
- Compliance with child labor laws
- Compliance with local labor laws
- Fair and ethical recruitment
According to SLCP figures, 53% of suppliers whose buyers accepted SLCP assessments reported savings on audit costs, and 65.9% reported spending less staff time on auditing. For Phoenix, efficiency was a secondary motivation, with transparency being paramount. Phoenix Manufacturing SLCP verification is in addition to their SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar Model audit and Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) certificate (Certificate No. 00006012).
As a global OEM/ODM manufacturer and wholesaler, Phoenix uses SLCP, RJC, and SEDEX to provide brands with different sources of verified information about its manufacturing practices. These assessments and certifications can support customers’ supplier due diligence and help them communicate their sourcing practices with greater confidence. Phoenix also conducts third-party metal and gemstone testing to verify purity and safety and provides relevant product documentation.
“We understand that when a brand puts its name on a piece of jewelry, it is also putting its reputation behind the factory that made it,” said Rayan Ahmed, Head of Public Relations at Phoenix Manufacturing. “That makes it our responsibility to deliver quality jewelry and supply chain transparency. We are proud to align with consumer and brand demands for ethical operations and raw materials sourcing. Adding SLCP adds another layer to our robust transparency framework.”
Phoenix’s New Moissanite Line
Phoenix’s wholesale platform, 925SilverJewelry by Phoenix Manufacturing will publish its first collection of moissanite earrings made from sterling silver on September 17, 2026.

The collection is manufactured at Phoenix’s facility, which holds RJC certification, has completed a 4-pillar SEDEX SMETA audit, and has undergone SLCP verification, and jewelry complies with ASTM & REACH standards.
