Scope

This policy applies to all aspects of 1867’s operations, including sourcing, production, packaging, distribution, client engagement, and community impact. It extends to our suppliers, artisans, contractors, and business partners.

Policy Statements

1.     Ethical Sourcing & Transparency

 1867 will provide clients with transparent information on our gemstones, quality, and certification.

 Supplier relationships will be governed by commitments to fair labour, safe working conditions, and human rights protections.

2.     Sustainable Materials

 1867 will prioritise the use of responsibly mined precious metals, with measurable increases in recycled content each year.

 Packaging will be designed to be minimal, recyclable, and plastic-free where possible, without compromising product protection or brand identity.

Alternative materials such as reclaimed gemstones and sustainable substitutes will be explored where consistent with our heritage standards.

3.     Craft & Heritage Preservation

1867 will support artisanship and generational skills, where our jewellery is handcrafted.

 We will ensure fair wages, safe working environments, and skill preservation for all artisans engaged in our production.

 Storytelling initiatives will highlight the heritage and craftsmanship behind each piece, reinforcing cultural preservation.

4.     Environmental Responsibility

1867 will minimise its environmental footprint by:  Selecting low-emission logistics partners.

Consolidating shipments where feasible.

A circular model will be adopted through jewellery care, resizing, repair, and buy-back programs to extend product lifespan.

5.     Client Empowerment & Education

1867 will publish clear, accessible educational resources to demystify gemstone quality, pricing, and certification.

The client experience will emphasise informed choice, transparency, and empowerment at every stage of purchase.

Clients will be encouraged to invest in timeless, long-lasting designs, promoting responsible luxury consumption.

6.     Community & Social Impact

A portion of annual profits will be directed towards 1 % for the Planet, as an active member.

Client engagement will remain exclusive, relationship-driven, and by appointment only, reflecting a commitment to intimacy over scale.

Governance & Accountability

This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure relevance, effectiveness, and alignment with global best practice.

Progress will be tracked against measurable goals, with updates provided to stakeholders where appropriate.

All employees, suppliers, and partners are expected to uphold this policy, with non-compliance addressed through corrective action.
