We listen carefully to uncover what each client needs so we can better tailor our services to their benefit.
All conversations and work are kept completely confidential.

Essentials Consulting Package
In a nut shell:
- Clarify your guiding principles and vision for responsible sourcing.
- Structure responsible sourcing policies and a process for vetting of suppliers and vendors.
- Revise business operations in light of sustainability goals.
- Review communications and claims on public facing platforms.
- Develop basic guidelines for a continuous improvement roadmap.
How we’ll work together:
- We are a small, focused consultancy helping clients meet their responsible sourcing goals while also creating a movement.
- When you work with us, know that we are out in the world setting expectations for best practice and supporting the concept of continuous improvement.
- We encourage companies to engage in sourcing approaches that have a positive impact on communities at every step of the jewelry supply chain. This means you’ll have something special to say about your jewelry.
- We value feedback and clear communication. The door is always open to share ideas for how we can improve the way we help you meet your goals. As a project gets underway we schedule regular calls to ensure that both teams are on the same page and understand what each other is doing to support your goals. We’ll check in with you formally at mid-project to evaluate how we’re doing and at the end to see how we’ve done.
