Ethics & Fair Trade

Fifi Bijoux uses ethically mined and fairly traded gold and precious gemstones.

We operate a strict policy on this for all our suppliers of raw materials and sundries.

Fifi Bijoux Ltd believes in spending time and care in securing suppliers who share our vision that human rights must be respected and upheld and that environmental impact should be minimised.

Gold & gemstones are from socially & environmentally responsible mines

They are fairly traded, ensuring miners receive a fair price for the goods and employees are paid over the local  minimum wage

No child labour, forced labour or exploitative practices are used in the mining, refining or trading of the gold & gemstones

The gold mines operate an eco-sustainability programme (for example no cyanide is used).

Gem mines are run as co-operatives or where mining rights are owned by non-cooperative businesses, the mining companies re-invest in the local communities (for example, schools, medical centres or micro-investment programmes)

Gem mines operated with the minimum impact on the environment and measures are taken to correct any environmental damage. Traditional artisanal mining techniques are used.

The stones are cut & polished in workshops which adhere to fair trade protocols and ensure health & safety measures are implemented and no child labour is used

Diamonds are supplied with details of provenance for private clients
