Ethical & Sustainable Business Statement

At Marchbank Jewellery Design Ltd we ensure that our jewellery is ethically and sustainably sourced.

We work with carefully selected companies and suppliers who follow guidelines for Ethical and Sustainable practice and that includes working with producers who follow those guidelines too.

Here's more information on how we are keeping our business ethical and sustainable, reducing our carbon footprint where possible and contributing to wild-life friendly schemes.

We are members of the Fair Trade registration scheme for Goldsmiths

We use Fair Trade Gold and Recycled Gold

We use Eco-Silver and Recycled Silver

We melt down and remodel jewellery for customers which also helps reduce carbon foot print and is an ethical and sustainable way to have new jewellery.

All of the materials used in our jewellery are ethically and responsibly sourced.

We have a fully accredited Fair Trade Gold Ambassador who works to ensure we are promoting use of Fair Trade gold and sustainable jewellery design and making.

Many of our suppliers are members of The Responsible Jewellery Council.

This is the global membership and standards body for responsible jewellery throughout the entire supply chain – from mine to retail. 

Their ‘Code of Practice’ references key development frameworks, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO Principles and UN Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We are selective with our suppliers

We only use suppliers who align with our ethical practices and sustainability goals.

Part of our sourcing methods are not just about the product, but what the suppliers are doing to sustain the planet.

Packaging

We now only use paper bags and acid - free tissue and our packaging for boxes is made from recycled card.

We also support the following charities:

Avon Wildlife, Woodland Trust, RSPB, Plant Life, Peoples Trust For Endangered Species, The British Red Cross, Dorothy House (Hospice care) Cancer Research UK, MIND, British Heart Foundantion, Alzheimer’s Society and Meningitis Now & Action for M.E.
