SUSTAINABILITY IN JEWELLERY

UNIQUE JEWELS

UNIQUE CHALLENGES

The jewellery industry faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to sustainability.

From mining and production to communication, the nature of the business requires deep industry knowledge and a clear understanding of consumer preferences. It takes a value chain expert to talk about meaningful change.

Trusted by the best in business for my 15 years of experience in retail, jewellery, sourcing and created diamonds, I understand the hidden opportunities to generate a positive impact and attract relevant customers.

DELIVERING GROWTH

Sustainability is bigger than just the environment. It’s about ensuring your business is a sustaining success in the long term.

When I talk to my clients about delivering Profit and Purpose, we look beyond philantropy and carbon footprint. The aim is to improve the bottom line through Product, People and Supply Chain initiatives. With the right support you can select the initiatives that attract and retain the right customers.

Whether you are just starting out or have a dedicated sustainability team, we will assess your situation, then focus on actions that bring measurable progress.

It is easier than you think.

REFLECTION TOOLS

The belief that sustainability should always be expensive is incorrect. A bicycle is more sustainable than a Tesla – easier to build, operate and maintain for life.

Think of these simple scenarios:

EMPLOYEES - Responsible employment practices improve staff retention. With hiring costs estimated at 40-60% of an employee’s annual salary, offering meaningful perks to your staff might actually decrease costs.

SUPPLIERS - Creating partnerships with fewer, more reliable suppliers means better deals, easier planning, and improved traceability of gemstones and metal.

PRODUCT - Plan your collections with neighbouring stone sizes and you will get better prices. The cutter will get a better yield from the lot and it will reduce waste of valuable material.
