In accordance with the “Five Freedoms” of the OIE (World Organization for Animal Health) and the guidelines of the Fur Free Retailer Program, we have defined sourcing standards for animal and species protection. Consequently, we do not sell products that contain materials from exotic animals. Furthermore, we abstain from offering products made of protected corals, shells, snails, and turtle shells as well as angora wool and non-certified mohair wool.
In addition, and in accordance with applicable EU regulations, we oblige our jewelry supplies to prove that diamonds and gemstones have a safe origin and that their products are nickel-free, lead-free, and cadmium-free. With the sourcing policy, the beauty suppliers commit to following the EU regulations concerning beauty formulations, ingredients, packaging, labelling, and package inserts as well as to prohibit animal testing.
We commit ourselves to the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions, therefore we are using 100% recyclable shipping boxes with a self-adhesive feature. Our packaging is FSC-certified and has carried the RESY seal since December 2019. This means: the paper products we use for our packaging originate from responsibly managed forests and are 100% recyclable. Our shipping boxes no longer contain any plastic. In addition, the shipping boxes can be immediately reused for returns, without requiring additional adhesive tape. This helps to keep the environmental footprint as low as possible.
We participate in the DHL environmental protection program GoGreen. The surcharge on each parcel is reinvested by DHL in climate protection projects to offset the greenhouse gases generated by transport. The GoGreen initiative addresses both direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by direct operations and by the activities of DHL’s transport subcontractors.
