Summary
In an increasingly environmentally conscious society, it is critical to choose jewelry suppliers that share environmental values. This article will help you make an informed choice of jewelry supplier
1. What is sustainable procurement
Sustainable procurement refers to suppliers adhering to environmentally friendly and socially responsible principles in the procurement of raw materials and manufacturing processes. The following are some of the main sustainable procurement standards and certifications: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) related standards, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, Forest Certification System (FSC), Responsible Jewelry Committee (RJC) certification, and B-Corp certification.
2. Finding sustainable procurement commitments from suppliers
Suppliers' sustainable procurement commitments include environmental responsibility, social responsibility, and economic responsibility. Specific measures include selecting environmentally friendly materials, adopting green design and production, managing the supply chain, providing training and education to employees, and regularly publishing sustainable development reports. Through the above measures, suppliers can not only improve their sustainable development level, but also provide customers and end consumers with more valuable and responsible products and services.
1. Choose recycled materials
Choose suppliers to use recycled metals and gemstones to reduce dependence on natural resources and environmental damage. Gold is a highly recyclable precious metal, and its value and durability make it a common choice in jewelry making. By recycling gold jewelry and gold waste, the demand for new gold mining can be reduced. Silver is also a recyclable precious metal commonly used in jewelry making. Similar to gold, recycling silver can reduce dependence on new silver mines and reduce the environmental impact of the mining process. In addition to metal materials, some jewelry may also use recyclable gemstones, such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, etc. In addition, recyclable materials such as plastic, glass, and wood can also be used to make environmentally friendly jewelry.
2. Search for certification materials
Jewelry suppliers need to provide the following qualification certificates. First product quality certification: including gemstone identification report, metal composition testing report, and process standard certification; Second social responsibility certification: labor rights certificate, ethical procurement certificate, and social responsibility certification; Third environmental responsibility certification: environmental management system certification and sustainable procurement certificate; Qualification certificate of the fourth company: business license, tax registration certificate, import and export qualification, and other certificates: quality management system certification and intellectual property certificate.
1. Humanitarian supply chain
Ensure that suppliers comply with human rights and labor rights, and use fair and legal labor.
2. Support local communities
Choose suppliers who actively participate in local community development plans and give back to society by supporting community education and environmental protection projects.
1. Supply chain transparency
Looking for suppliers who can provide complete supply chain information, including the sources of raw materials and production processes.
2. Verification and certification
The verification and certification of jewelry suppliers typically involve multiple industry standards and international certifications to ensure product quality, business integrity, and environmental and social responsibility. ISO certification, RJC certification, LBMA certification, SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek and other well-known inspection and certification bodies not only help improve the reputation of suppliers, but also enhance their competitiveness in the global market.
