Garrard Sustainability Actions

Carbon footprint and SBTi

Having done their complete carbon footprint calculation, the heritage jewellery house has set clear carbon reduction targets and submitted their science-based-targets (SBTi) on their race to Net Zero. Garrard’s energy and waste management programmes go hand in hand with their ambitious climate goals.

Runs on renewable energy

The brand runs on 100% renewable energy and uses equipment designed for energy conservation. Efficient inventory systems, material recycling and working closely with suppliers allows for limited waste production throughout their value chain.

Supplier screening and code

Garrard work closely with all their direct (Tier 1) suppliers and have identified all other key suppliers across their entire supply chain. Suppliers are screened against sustainability criteria and are required to follow a supplier Code of Conduct that encompasses all ESG factors relevant to the brand.

Recycled and fairtrade materials

Garrard is working closely with their supply chain to ensure all material used in their jewellery production is recycled and fairtrade, while all diamonds are ethically sourced through the Kimberley Process Scheme.

Equality and apprenticeships

Garrard is championing equality, inclusivity, and the wellbeing of their teams and the communities around them. The brand empowers female leaders, has implemented a robust internal ethical code and designed an apprenticeship scheme for developing the new generation of jewellers.

Packaging and logistics

Having conducted a packaging environmental impact assessment and eliminating all plastic, Garrard has been able to source less packaging and lower its overall negative impact by using recycled and FSC certified materials. Garrard accounts for their logistics footprint and has implemented policies and practices that require inbound and outbound freight or shipping to be transported via lowest impact methods.

Garrard Angels initiative

In April 2020, the brand launched the Garrard Angels initiative to acknowledge the heroic efforts made by Britain’s key workers during the pandemic.
