Sustainability
EVERYDAY
I am a strong believer in sustainable and ethical practices and this is embedded into my business:
• Where possible I aim to choose sustainable materials and options so that my business has a smaller footprint. I try to support local as often as possible.
• I steer away from processes that are overly wasteful + producing unnecessary waste. I am constantly reviewing my business practices to ensure I’m always choosing the best options for the environment.
• The precious metals I work with are infinitely reusable/recyclable.
• My designs are brought to life in completely refined recycled metals!
• The mining industry is not all glittery gems and shimmery stones. I try to work mostly with Australian Opal for a few reasons; I know where the material is coming from, I know that people are paid well for their work and I know that health and safety is of high priority.
Giving back
I have pledged to give back to the wider community every month. I have made a huge focus on supporting organisations who are helping Indigenous People and communities around Australia.
I make monthly contributions towards the ‘Pay The Rent’ scheme seeing as I work with Opals taken from Australian soil.
BANKING
I have recently made to switch from Commonwealth Bank to Bank Australia. They are a “Customer Owned Bank” and a certified B-Corp business. You can rest assured that by purchasing through me, the money is being held in a responsible bank who are for the people, and for the planet.
Bank Australia does NOT support the following:
Live Animal Exports
Fossil Fuels
Gambling
Tabacco
Arms/Weapons Indutry
