Sparkling people

My Jewellery started out as a female-led, family-run business with great ambition & passion. Along the journey to who we are today we’ve learnt from many people and know the importance of taking care of those close to us. We firmly believe that we can achieve a lot more together than alone, and that everything we achieve as a company is thanks to the sparkling people that pour their love & power into building our brand.

We recognise that our responsibility for people extends far beyond our direct employees, as our production chain also employs thousands of people, often women. We believe that all employees who work on our products, whether directly or indirectly, should feel safe and valued. Wherever in the world they might be. That is why we are committed to monitoring the working conditions in our supply-chain and working together with our suppliers on necessary improvements. People keep our business running which is why we’ve defined three overarching goals to focus on:

We have been a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) since 2021. This is an initiative of companies committed to improving conditions in their global supply chain. This is checked against points defined by BSCI and also included in our code of conduct. These points are checked by means of independent checks, also known as audits. The following points are checked during an audit:

 

 Freedom of association and collective bargaining

 Fair wages

 Employee Health and Safety

 Special protection for young workers

 No forced labour

 Ethical Business Conduct

 No discrimination

 Decent working hours

 No child labour

 No insecure employment

 Environmental protection

 

We realise that audits are a reflection of the working conditions at a particular time, on a particular day. That may be different a day later. In the near future we want to give all employees in the factories access to a complaints mechanism. When rights are being violated, they can then use a helpline. In this way, we can detect abuses and work on remediation and prevention together with relevant stakeholders.
