Luna Tree Jewellery Green Policy

Sustainable environmental practices are extremely important to Luna Tree Jewellery.

We endeavour to reduce the amount of all consumable office products; by sending as much paperwork as possible such as invoices and correspondence electronically and store all information on a computer rather than print hard copies. We reuse as much paper as possible; ensuring both sides of scrap paper is used before recycling or composting. Any paper products purchased for promotional material is made from recycled paper or FSC certified paper. Packaging and envelopes are always reused. Printer ink cartridges are refilled.

We purchase our electricity from a green renewable energy provider who invests in the wetlands of the UK for the protection of our native bird and mammal habitats. Computers, lights (Light bulbs are all energy efficient.) etc are switched off when not in use and we would rather put on an extra layer or run round a bit than crank up the heating system.

A home office saves on commuting and the emissions this would create daily. A vehicle is very rarely used for business. Public transport is preferred whenever possible. However, it is inevitable that our producers are visited and our goods shipped - endeavouring to off set these overseas trips etc at least 2% of the annual profits are gifted to environmental charities who work towards reducing CO2 emissions.

We do not pollute the environment with chemicals during the silver production process. There is no waste material as all the silver off cuts etc can be reused. Only hand tools are used, with the exception of a soldering tool. Sustainable environmental practices are being developed within our production village with the introduction of solar panels enabling the village to run generators in the evenings for light etc.

We are continually looking at ways to improve our green performance as a business and to reduce our impact on the earth. Little steps make a huge difference!
