Responsible sourcing consultancy firm, Levin Sources, has launched a new bespoke service for small jewellers.
The new service, ‘Responsible Sourcing for Small Jewellers, has been designed to help SME jewellers transform their supply chain towards ethical sourcing,
Jewellery customers are increasingly keen to purchase sustainable and compassionate pieces. Yet for many small jewellers, taking the steps to ensure they have the right policies and procedures in place can be complex and expensive.
The new service by Levin Sources provides step-by-step method to help companies in the UK & Ireland, as well as continental Europe and the US.
Tailor-made to each jeweller’s needs, the bespoke service is easy-to-use and affordable.
The service will provide jewellers with the assessment, mapping, and storytelling support they need to comply with standards, and will also help companies communicate the changes to their consumers in an impactful way.
Levin Sources founder and Women’s Jewellery Network ethical sourcing ambassador, Estelle Levin-Nally, shares: “Working with small jewellers for the past 15 years, I have seen first-hand how complex, expensive, and time-consuming setting up and implementing sustainable sourcing policies and procedures can be, even with all the good will in the world. We designed this new service specifically to address this concern and make sure jewellers can answer the demand for beautiful, ethical pieces.”
Arabel Lebrusan, ethical jewellery designer and the first jeweller to use the service, adds: “Levin Sources helped me draft a comprehensive Ethical Policy for my supply chain. Their support allowed me to take my business to the next stage and gave me confidence in my own ability to create policies backing up my company’s responsible values.”
