BUILDING A RESPONSIBLE JEWELLERY BUSINESS
We understand how challenging it can be to run a responsible jewellery business—especially when time, knowledge, and resources are limited. That’s why we created this course: to make working responsibly simple and achievable.
We’ve already supported numerous jewellery brands on their journey, helping them strengthen their values, improve their practices, and meet certification requirements with confidence. Through this course, we’re sharing the same practical insights to help you make meaningful progress—without compromising your creativity or commercial success.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
With accessible language, practical tips, and templates to help you get things down on paper, this mini course will set you on your way to a more responsible jewellery business. Designed to be completed in six stages, each module contains a mix of written and video content, including focus sections to learn more about important topics and case studies of leading jewellery brands to bring concepts to life. At the end of each module, you’ll complete a task to help drive your business forward.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
If you are designer-maker, micro businesses or SME starting the journey towards a more responsible business, this is the guide for you. We know that time and budget is tight when you are running your own business, so we've created a cost-effective course of bitesize information you can work through at your own pace. We'll help you to future proof your business and have a more positive social and environmental impact in the world.
