Reducing our CO2 emissions

FOPE’s corporate choices are driven by a spirit of social and environmental responsibility that pervades every aspect of the business, with the RJC certification being the icing on the cake.

In order to reduce our carbon footprint, we have appointed a third-party certification body in order to conduct an independent study and map the CO2 emissions we produce directly and those related to the life cycle of our jewellery. This voluntary analysis gives spark to improvements such as the ones recently introduced in our HQ. The Vicenza premises, which include FOPE’s factory, are now “Class A” i.e. the highest efficiency standard.

Logistics operations represent another important topic as the distribution of jewellery worldwide can be tricky in terms of gas emissions. In order to tackle the issue, FOPE has been selecting like-minded international couriers which are actively aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and are always optimising their routes.
Finally we compensate the remaining emissions by means of Treedom, the Italian web platform for planting trees remotely. In the past two years we have planted more than 800 orange trees in Kenya and we keep sharing the positive message by gifting a personalised tree for every jewel purchased during select FOPE events worldwide…our commitments consist in diverse actions, all of which aim to help build a better future.
