Sustainabilty Culture
Modern consumers want to feel good about their purchases, especially from social and environmental angles. As consumers become more aware of how their choices impact the world around them, they are increasingly demanding ethical, sustainable options that align with their values – including fine karat gold jewelry.
At Clover, sustainability is about integrating sustainable values into the core of our identity, operations, and decision-making processes.
Our culture of sustainability model spans five essential elements: Strategy, structure, processes, people and alignment with our supply chain and client partners.
Bedrock To Build On
Our culture strives for constant improvement in karat gold jewelry sustainability. We demand excellence from ourselves and all our supply chain partners.
As a certified member of the Responsible Jewelry Council® carrying a Chain of Custody certification for gold since 2017, we take seriously our responsibility to enforce the jewelry industry’s highest standards that ensure safety and health practices, fair labor, and sustainable treatment of the environment.
Led by our Chief Compliance Officer, we live by RJC’s Code of Practices and Chain of Custody guidelines. At a minimum, we require all vendors to be certified RJC members and attain Chain of Custody certification for their gold operations. As we continue in our sustainability journey, we will seek to elevate our standards even further.
