Our Commitment To Our Customers, Our Co-Owners And Our Planet
At Hockley Mint, we believe that ethical manufacturing and sustainability should benefit everyone—our customers, their end consumers, and the planet. As a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), we adhere to a strict set of standards, ensuring that every piece of jewellery we craft is socially and environmentally responsible. This approach helps us maintain transparency and confidence in the products we deliver, giving both our customers, and in turn their customers, assurance in their ethical sourcing.
Our dedication to sustainability is demonstrated through the use of 100% recycled gold in crafting our wedding bands, offering a conscientious choice for environmentally aware clientele seeking ethical rings. We believe in creating jewellery whilst staying committed to our company’s core values that care for people and the planet.
We are proud to support Fairtrade Gold, which guarantees equitable compensation for the hard work of small-scale miners, empowering them to improve their lives and communities. Mines certified by Fairtrade adhere to rigorous standards, ensuring workers receive a Fairtrade minimum price while protecting labour conditions, safety, and women's rights, and prohibiting child labour. The Fairtrade Gold Standard also safeguards forests, water sources, and the wider environment, promoting responsible practices throughout.
Similarly, our collaboration with Fairmined reflects our commitment to sourcing gold of responsible origin. Fairmined certification ensures traceability and adherence to the best mining practices, aimed at preserving the environment and fostering the development of artisanal and small-scale mining communities.
As an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), we also prioritise the well-being of our team, empowering them to uphold our values of craftsmanship and sustainability. Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, and we continually invest in infrastructure and processes that minimise environmental impact.
At Hockley Mint, we are proud to supply jewellery which promises a supply chain that values ethics, sustainability, and responsibility, ensuring that the end consumer receives jewellery that reflects these principles. It’s about making choices that benefit everyone—our customers, their customers, and the planet.
