Sustainable & Ethical

Sustainable and ethical entrepreneurship, what exactly does that mean? And are we doing everything completely sustainably? The answer is unfortunately no. We certainly won't do everything perfectly. We're a startup and still have a lot to learn and want to learn to do everything even more sustainably, but we're definitely on the right track.

Our budgets are already largely invested in more expensive alternatives throughout the entire business chain. We are always looking for sustainable and ethical alternatives. For example, we are currently designing a collection featuring Vegan Leather and Ocean Bound materials. We also work with a B-corp producer and use local and recycled materials as much as possible. Everyone who works on our products is well paid and works under good conditions, and our producer closely monitors this.

Our office building is completely energy-neutral thanks to the solar panels on our roof, and we both drive electric vehicles. When choosing packaging materials, we also prioritize sustainable options. We use jewelry boxes and have deliberately chosen a high-quality version so customers can use them immediately to store their jewelry. We don't print order confirmations or invoices; instead, we use a single flyer with all the information; you'll receive the rest digitally by email. When we import items from abroad, we try to ship them as a single shipment as much as possible to reduce CO2 emissions from our transport. We ensure that the materials we order are completely used up to minimize waste, and we only order new materials when absolutely necessary.

Of course, we appreciate your input as a customer. Do you have any feedback for us regarding our sustainable business practices? Let us know via our social media channels, the contact form on our website, or email us at klantenservice@adornpay.nl.
