Responsible Silver

Every industry has to do its part to reduce GHG emissions and ideally use methods that can be calculated and reported on according to international standards. Gold and silver don’t currently have sector-specific science-based targets or guidelines. When it comes to GHG emissions in jewelry, the most significant source is the mining and processing of the ore. Factors such as the type of mine (primary ore / or by-product),  whether the ore processing facility is on or off site, the energy sources to run the operations, and the size of the operation all factor into calculating GHG emissions.
Calculations are even more complex for jewelry made from recycled precious metals. We want to work with others in the industry on these challenges and find solutions together.
