27. SUSTAINABILITY & ETHICS
Slim Barrett is fully committed to reducing his carbon footprint as much, and as often as possible in the production process. Our jewellery is made in England by highly skilled craftspeople. We recycle all metals. Our gift boxes are made in England by specialist craftspeople.
As the winner of DeBeers Diamonds International Award for excellence in the design of fine diamond jewellery Slim Barrett actively encourages respect for strict ethical standards. All our diamonds come to us from legal sources in full compliance with the Kimberley Process which aims to eliminate conflict diamonds from the legitimate diamond supply chain, as defined by the United Nations. Under the guarantee system instituted by this process and De Beers Best Practice Principles, which are independently monitored codes of practice, set up to ensure that consumers buying diamond jewellery can rely on the professional, ethical and technical standards of the gem diamond industry we ensure that our diamonds are sourced from non-conflict countries.
We are committed to environmental initiatives that promote all supply chains being free of conflict minerals. Alongside Cartier and Tiffany, Slim Barrett supports international campaign group, No Dirty Gold, which demands changes in the way that metals are extracted and produced – all too often at the expense of communities, workers, and the environment. We engage with key stakeholders, lobbying for assurance that supply chains are 100% free of conflict and that no toxic chemicals are used in the mining and strict ecological restoration practices are observed.
