At SEC, we understand the importance of sustainability and the impact we have on the environment. That’s why we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and making conscious choices to protect the planet. Our mission is to make conscious jewelry accessible and desirable for the modern and conscious individual without leaving a negative impact on the environment.
To make a positive impact, we have partnered up with Ana Dyla, a B.corp certified company committed to improve and drive the jewelry industry towards sustainability. Our production process only uses recycled metals sourced from the Borsa Istanbul Precious Metal Lending Market (PMM), ensuring the responsible sourcing of metals. Currently, there is no official certification for (semi) precious gemstones. We prioritize the purchase of colored gemstones from reputable and regulated institutions and suppliers to ensure transparency and sustainability. We also ensure that our gemstones do not come from conflict areas and are locally sourced and cut in Turkey. External suppliers are visited regularly and audits are conducted to ensure the ethical requirements and human rights are upheld.
We believe that sustainability should be integrated into every aspect of our business, including our packaging. That’s why we use 100% FSC® paper for all of our packaging and we encourage our customers to recycle and reuse our packaging as much as possible.
At SEC, we recognize that there is always room for improvement, and we are committed to continuously seeking ways to reduce our environmental footprint. By choosing SEC, you are not only supporting a sustainable and ethical business, but you are also contributing to our promise to make the jewelry industry better for the environment and society.
