ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY
As a family-run business, Palmiero is aware of the environmental and social challenges that the jewellery sector has to face, and therefore the company has always ensured that its activities are carried out in respect and in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem. We are aware that raw materials generate different environmental and social impacts, and thus we promote responsible sourcing of materials used along the supply chain, and monitor the activity of our suppliers.

- Transparency and traceability in diamond sourcing
We believe that the diamond sector may contribute positively to the economy and to the life of the communities involved in the diamond supply chain. We think that responsible sourcing may play a role in supporting and safeguarding human rights, by promoting equal and safe working systems, ecosystem protection and ethical business conduct. We guarantee the quality of all diamonds used in our creations and request that our suppliers comply with the standards set by the Kimberley Process. This agreement is regarded as the most important regulatory treaty for diamond mining to date, it guarantees that the diamonds are sourced in conflict-free areas, so that their trade does not favor or finance civil wars. In the same line, the Responsible Jewellery Council has established effective standards and codes of conduct for self-regulation in the jewellery sector.


Use of recycled and certified gold
The gold we buy complies with the standards set by the RJC Chain Of Custody, which defines the requirements for the identification and traceability of the materials used, such as recycled, screened and certified gold that comes from suitable recycled sources. In this way we reduce our environmental impact and contribute to protect natural resources. We guarantee that the gold used in our company fully respects the ethical standards as we refer exclusively to RJC and COC certified sources.
