Environmental Policy

At Kit Heath, we are committed to enriching lives through our Ethical Policy by promoting responsible, ethical, human rights, social, and environmental practices throughout our business, our employees, and our business partners, including our complete supply chain for all our products.

We comply with UK, EU and US legislation and fully support the sentiments and applicable codes of practice relating to the International Labour Organisation Conventions, the Responsible Jewellery Council, the Dangerous Substances and Preparations Regulations (Nickel) and the Kimberley Process, with zero tolerance of conflict products.

We aim to ensure compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and regulations and take action to review and improve our environmental performance continuously.

All suppliers are required to comply with our Ethical Sourcing framework, which, at minimum, insists that working conditions are safe and hygienic, employment is freely chosen, living wages are paid, child labour is not used, and no harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed. 

We aim to use resources wisely by reducing resource use and reusing or recycling materials wherever possible. This applies to office paper, cardboard, scrap metal we send to recycle, as well as products that we source for our jewellery.

We aim to implement on a daily basis throughout our operations by:

• Training, ensuring all our employees understand the sustainability impacts of their own jobs. We are always finding ways and means to make our mark on the world a positive rather than a negative one.
• Informing all suppliers, contractors and sub-contractors of the requirement to comply with this policy when providing goods and services.
• Reviewing sustainability issues regularly at the highest level within the organisation.
• Being open to suggestions and recommendations from all our customers.
