Clover, like the rest of the industry, is deeply intertwined with the broader, day-to-day landscape of complicated supply chains. We are facing evolving, often unforeseen challenges.
Naturally, world events can significantly influence fine jewelry supply chains as the circumstances of how our products make their way to market evolve. These circumstances can make adherence to the Responsible Jewellery Council’s (RJC) sustainability guidelines and industry regulations more difficult to steward and monitor.
For Clover’s karat gold jewelry, the journey from gold sourcing to crafting a beautiful, high quality piece involves a complex, integrated supply chain that requires careful management to ensure ethical practices are upheld by all our stakeholder partners.
Although many consumers may be unaware of our supply chain challenges, the demand for ethically produced fine jewelry continues to rise.
The result? The importance of adhering to and advancing sustainability guidelines will surely continue to grow.
Clover’s Golden Rule: A deep commitment to our clients.
- While we ensure that our karat gold jewelry products are not only beautiful but also ethically sound by integrating RJC’s guidelines and fine jewelry regulations, we also continuously and conscientiously improve our supply chain stewardship and monitoring of Clover’s stakeholder partners.
- We double down every day to not only meet our clients’ and their consumers’ expectations, but also strive to push ourselves in the pursuit of excellence. By doing this, we ensure that our karat gold jewelry is always sourced, processed, and distributed in a manner that respects both people and the planet.
Clover’s Effective Supply Chain Management is Non-negotiable
- Ethical Sourcing: Clover rigorously selects suppliers who are members of RJC and comply with their standards and guidelines. This ensures that the gold we purchase is compliant with the highest industry standards. This commitment helps support human rights abuses and fair labor practices.
- Transparency: We maintain transparency throughout our supply chain and can provide clients with detailed information and reporting about the origin of their gold and the conditions under which it was sourced, processed, and manufactured into jewelry. This transparency builds trust and ensures our products meet stringent ethical standards.
- Continuous Improvement: Understanding that sustainability is an ongoing journey, Clover is committed to continuous improvement. We regularly audit our supply chain, seek feedback from stakeholders, and stay updated on the latest sustainability trends and regulations to ensure we remain leaders in the industry.
- Environmental Stewardship: Clover adheres to environmental guidelines that minimize the ecological footprint of our operations. This includes responsible waste management, reducing energy consumption, and ensuring that all their practices are environmentally sustainable.
- Compliance with Fine Jewelry Regulations: In addition to RJC guidelines, Clover complies with all relevant fine jewelry industry regulations, ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed legal standards for quality and safety. This compliance extends to hallmarking, alloy compositions, and ensuring that all our karat gold jewelry meets the necessary purity standards.
