2024 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Our core belief is that luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. In fact, they represent the future of the jewelry industry. Thoughtfully crafted, high-quality jewelry can be more than an accessory; it can serve as a powerful expression of self and a catalyst for positive social and environmental impact.
We continue to partner with trusted suppliers aligned with our sustainability goals, responsibly sourcing materials focused on innovation, traceability, and circularity to create products for generations to come.
We prioritize suppliers certified by recognized independent standards-setting organizations, focusing on health and safety, human rights, fair labor, governance, and environmental protection.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct and accompanying Guidance. anchor our responsible sourcing practices and form the foundations of our Social and Environmental Accountability (SEA) Program which helps us continually evaluate our suppliers and practices and help ensure accountability.
The jewelry industry is a global story, rich in people, places, and processes. While this complexity can lead to transparency challenges, we see it as an opportunity. Through our work, we aim to shed light on the journey of each piece, so you can feel confident knowing where it came from and how it was made.
At Mejuri, we see all materials as intrinsically unique and full of potential. We use a combination of newly mined, lab grown, and recycled materials, which allow us to innovate while maintaining our high social, environmental, and product quality standards. Different materials have varied challenges and considerations, which is why we take a balanced approach to sourcing that prioritizes respect for the people within our industry, our customers, and the planet. As part of our commitment to circularity, we prioritize recycled gold—identical in quality and durability to newly mined, and every bit as beautiful. Because doing things the right way helps us create pieces we’re proud to stand behind—and that our community can feel good about, too.

Diamonds are some of the most prized gemstones on earth—but they’re not always well understood. Especially when it comes to lab grown versus newly mined diamonds and their differences in their sustainability considerations.
Our goal is to continue pushing our industry to improve the traceability of diamonds while welcoming new options that maximize our customers’ budget and style preferences.
Natural Diamonds: We’re committed to taking a balanced approach to sourcing that encompasses the complexities and varied impacts of diamonds and their supply chains. With this in mind, we continue to source brilliant, newly mined diamonds and are ensuring measures are in place to continue supporting mining communities in a responsible way. Our natural diamonds adhere to the Kimberley Process standards, an international system that combats the trade of conflict diamonds. We also require our suppliers to follow the OECD Due Diligence 5-Step framework identifying the country of mining origin for all diamonds used in Mejuri jewelry.
% Traceability
Lab Grown Diamonds: Lab grown diamonds offer the same high-quality sparkle and durability but often at more reasonable prices with 100% traceability. Not all lab grown diamonds are created equally. We’re proud to work with our trusted supplier network to offer net-zero lab grown diamonds, so the only thing you emit is confidence in your responsibly made jewelry.
Offering 100% traceable and net-zero lab-grown diamonds is an important step towards our traceability and climate 2030 commitments.

There’s a lot to love about gold. Besides being beautiful, it’s durable, versatile, and accompanies us throughout a lifetime of precious moments.
As part of our commitment to circularity, we’ve made it a point to prioritize recycled gold. It’s the same quality as newly mined and just as durable, and we’re proud to have sourced 94% recycled gold in our products this year.
As part of our balanced sourcing approach, we continue to source a percentage of newly mined gold and are dedicated to supporting communities around the world that depend on gold mining for a living. With this in mind, we rigorously source our newly mined gold — adhering to international standards and certifications set by organizations like the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), and the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) — to help ensure our gold is sourced from mines that measure themselves against the strongest standards in the world.
Renowned for its durability, resilience, and purity—there’s a lot to treasure about our 925 Sterling Silver.
Of the silver we use in our products 95% is from recycled sources as part of our commitment to our circularity goal.
Recycled silver is used in many industries aside from jewelry, most commonly across tech, automotive, and aerospace. Since these sectors hold greater influence over global silver procurement volumes compared to the jewelry industry, we’re committed to cross-industry collaboration to enhance its definition and regulatory framework.
Precious and unique, pearls are the only gem material, unlike other gemstones, that don’t require cutting or faceting before use. We exclusively source our precious freshwater pearls from China, making them 100% traceable to their country of origin.
Pearls: 100% traceable to country of farming origin
Pearls also experience the broader industry challenges around traceability and lack of established standards as other materials, so we’re focused on working with our suppliers to better understand the impact of our pearls at the farm level. As part of our ongoing collaborations with Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 and Positive Luxury, we’re also continuing to examine our supply chain’s effect on water resources.
Colored gemstones offer vibrant beauty and unique character, and when sourced sustainably, they provide significant positive impacts. Sustainable colored gemstones often come from small-scale or artisanal mining, which can help support local communities and lift people out of poverty. We’re committed to enhancing our gemstone traceability, accountability, and labor practices across the supply chain by collaborating directly with polishers in sourcing communities, such as through initiatives like Design Thinking Africa.
Currently, 92% of our colored gemstones are traceable to their country of origin, and 7% are traceable to their region of origin — and we’re working to keep progressing towards our 100% traceability commitment.
Colored Gemstones Traceability: 1% unknown, 92% traced to Country of Origin, 7% traced to Region of Origin (within country)
Our commitment to innovative and responsible sourcing continued with the integration of Salmon Gold into our product lineup. A Mejuri piece made from Salmon Gold™ means wearing gold that's driving true environmental restoration impact, unlike anything done before—and that’s something to be really excited about.
Before you ask, no, it’s not made from salmon. Salmon Gold™ is gold that’s fully traceable, works to restore biodiversity, and supports regenerative mining. Last year, in partnership with Regeneration, we secured the first commercial quantity of Salmon Gold™ —a revolutionary partnership that re-mines legacy and abandoned mine sites while restoring fish habitats across Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and British Columbia.
Regeneration’s approach involves using modern, efficient mining practices to extract valuable metals and minerals from mine tailings, waste rock, and water surrounding these sites. This helps clean and restore the environment while providing sustainable minerals that can be used in products. Traditionally, connecting a company’s biodiversity and environmental initiatives with its supply chain doesn’t happen so directly. We’re challenging that norm through our investment in Regeneration and sourcing Salmon Gold™, enabling us to not only directly repair the environmental impacts of past mining, but also help drive industry transformation forward towards alternatives that benefit ecosystems.
Last year, we sourced 9 kg of Salmon Gold™ and this year, we sourced all 10.5 kg of Salmon Gold™ that was mined— enough to create over 8,000 earrings and rings.
Through our partnership with Regeneration we’ve been able to integrate Salmon Gold™, advancing us towards our goals of being Climate Positive and achieving 100% Traceability by 2030.
Traditionally, a company’s biodiversity and environmental initiatives aren’t directly linked to its supply chain. We’re challenging that norm through our investment in Regeneration and the sourcing of Salmon Gold™—allowing us to repair the environmental impacts of past mining while helping drive industry transformation toward ecosystem-positive alternatives.
Our 2025 Salmon Gold™ collection has expanded to include more styles, allowing us to offer our customers new designs while increasing our restoration efforts. We look forward to sharing stories of these habitat projects as they progress.

We are committed to leveraging our influence and platform to champion transformative change in our society through our Empowerment Fund, purpose-driven products, corporate giving, and advocacy.
Our philanthropic goal of contributing $5M USD by 2030 to organizations we care about is one we hold close to our hearts. That’s why we've worked hard to develop the partnerships, methodology, and systems to keep us on track toward reaching our target.
Our philanthropy revolves around three focus areas: the Mejuri Empowerment Fund, purpose-driven products, and our corporate giving. We recognize that contributing to the greater good goes beyond monetary support. That’s why we are committed to leveraging our influence and platform to champion transformative change in our society—this means meaningfully engaging with our partners and communities, learning how we can best collaborate, support, and use our platform to educate for change.
The Empowerment Fund is the living embodiment of our commitment to supporting women and underrepresented people in our communities. Through collaborations, partnerships, donations, scholarships, and bursaries, the Empowerment Fund exists to help talented individuals access critical education, upskilling, and advocacy to create lasting change in their lives, communities, and our industry.
Since its start in 2020, the Empowerment Fund has contributed over $1M USD through bursaries, scholarships, and advocacy donations. We’re prioritizing programs, partners, and initiatives that create and expand formal and informal educational and skill-building opportunities that remove barriers to advancement, helping individuals lead on their terms.
In 2024, we continued to support a range of organizations, including Indspire, Design Thinking Africa, United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and WIE Suite.
Our partnership with Design Thinking Africa, founded in 2023 by Zambian-born Danish jewelry designer Patricia Mweene, helps women in Ndola gain gemstone cutting and polishing skills. This ensures that the value-added process of finishing Zambian gemstones stays within the local community, reducing reliance on outsourcing to other countries and creating sustainable job opportunities for women.
It’s been a big year for the program. With Mejuri’s support, Design Thinking Africa welcomed a new cohort of ten women to its training program, which has now moved to the Technical & Vocational Teacher College (TVTC) in Luanshya, Zambia. This relocation increases security and gives students access to additional disciplines, including on-campus goldsmith training. The program is seeking accreditation as part of a broader EU and ILO initiative to strengthen local vocational training and offer nationally recognized qualifications, empower women artisans, and help build Zambia’s jewelry and gemstone industry by keeping value-added skills in the country.
And the impact of last year’s program continues to be felt with two students from the 2023 cohort, Esnart and Beauty, staying on as teachers and mentors for the new cohort.

We strive to create an authentic, connected community where every member shapes our culture while growing personally and professionally.
By actively listening and engaging with our team through regular employee surveys, we’ve gained valuable insights to better support our staff and address their needs. This feedback has highlighted our strengths and areas for improvement, resulting in programs that maintain a strong engagement score of 76, demonstrating the effectiveness of our initiatives.
Going forward, we will incorporate survey response data into quarterly talent reviews to help leaders better understand how team performance, engagement, and growth relate to productivity and business success.
For every team member to feel genuinely engaged in shaping our culture, it’s important they’re in an inclusive environment where they feel heard.
With feedback from our team, we’ve been working hard to improve employee engagement and growth, strengthen our DEIB policy, and continue promoting gender equity practices. It’s important to us that we’re providing our employees with the resources and support to empower their personal and professional journeys.
At Mejuri, we believe building a team of diverse voices and perspectives that reflect the communities in which we operate isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s essential for creating the lasting impact we’re striving for.
Our commitment to cultivating a diverse team and talent pipeline means working to implement the best measurement systems to collect the right data. These graphs offer a snapshot of employee gender and ethnicity based on self-reported data.
This year, we prioritized increasing and maintaining the diversity of our pipeline throughout the hiring journey, from application to final hire, with an emphasis on reaching underrepresented groups.
In addition to setting benchmarks, we’re implementing the policies and guidance needed to support this goal, including reducing the potential for implicit bias, clearly communicating performance standards, and identifying additional support required for equity-seeking groups.
We’re excited to share that we finalized our Supplier DEIB program in January and are collecting data on progress from our suppliers.
We’re a global company with a community-first approach.
We aim for our stores, offices, and fulfillment centers to actively engage with and positively impact their local communities by hosting engaging in-store events and offering meaningful volunteering opportunities for our team.
Team members from corporate offices, fulfillment centers, and retail locations in New York and Toronto came together during the week to assemble educational resource kits, including chemistry and STEAM kits, as well as handmade bookmarks.
These supplies were donated to local nonprofits, The Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) in Toronto, Canada, and The Girls and Boys Club of Harlem in New York City, USA, to support inclusive and accessible learning for 315 children in our communities. In total, our team dedicated 92 hours to volunteer projects this year, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to giving back.
As a women-led organization, with over 78% of our team identifying as women, we witness the power of women every day. Unfortunately, women continue to face barriers and systemic challenges with gender and pay equity in our industry and beyond.
In 2024, the People Operations team conducted a thorough assessment of pay equity across the company, analyzing compensation data to check for unexplained gender pay gaps. After controlling for legitimate factors, they found no average pay disparity between men and women doing comparable work. We’re proud to honor our commitment to equal pay for equal work. We'll maintain this standard through annual reviews, ensuring that pay equity remains a top priority at Mejuri.

We aim to make a climate-positive impact through every stage of our process, from materials sourcing to our business operations. We continue to partner with Regeneration on legacy mine site rehabilitation and habitat restoration. We've also continued sourcing net-zero precious materials to broaden our product offering.
We’ve been tracking our emissions since 2019, working hard to compile and understand which practices and areas of our business are most greenhouse gas-intensive as we continue to grow. In 2024, we’ve turned that information into a clear roadmap to achieve our climate targets.
We’re tremendously proud to be Regeneration's founding and exclusive jewelry sector partner. This meaningful collaboration allows us to invest in regenerative practices and help address long-standing environmental and industry challenges.
The Challenge
Before environmental closure laws existed, many mines were abandoned, leaving behind untreated sites that continue to pollute ecosystems and threaten native species. While these sites have caused lasting ecological harm, they also present a unique opportunity: the mining waste left behind can be transformed into a valuable resource.
Our Partnership
We’ve partnered with Regeneration, a re-mining initiative led by the non-profit RESOLVE, to help rehabilitate abandoned mine sites and restore surrounding ecosystems. Using innovative techniques, Regeneration extracts valuable minerals from mine waste, cleaning up environmental damage while providing responsibly sourced materials. Revenue from these minerals is reinvested into habitat restoration and permanent mine closure.
In 2023, we committed $1.5 million to support Regeneration’s work and began using traceable Salmon Gold™ from these projects in our jewelry. Our partnership supports the restoration of salmon habitats in Alaska and the Yukon, with British Columbia next—regions critical to the health of both wildlife and local communities. Salmon Gold™ is 100% traceable and uniquely impactful, representing a new model where environmental repair and responsible sourcing go hand in hand.

Understanding our greenhouse gas emissions was the first step. With our climate target set, the next step was creating a robust plan to reach it. To set ourselves up for success, we focused on establishing clear internal reduction targets.
Mejuri is committed to:
The result is our near-term, science-based emissions reduction target and roadmap, validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative in February 2025 and published on the SBTi Target Dashboard. We’re proud of the swift progress we’ve made and look forward to sharing further updates as we continue advancing on our roadmap.
We continue to take action to reduce our GHG emissions and be transparent about our progress. We’re committed to reductions across our operations and value chain by prioritizing low-carbon materials, advancing our greenhouse gas reduction roadmap, and supporting supplier use of renewable energy. After minimizing emissions wherever possible, we address the remainder through Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and high-quality offsets.
While RECs don’t power our operations directly, they help fund renewable energy where it's most needed. For emissions beyond electricity, we use carefully selected offsets, partnering with Native, a Public Benefit Corporation, to support impactful projects such as regenerative farming in Brazil and clean water access in Mozambique—ensuring our approach aligns with both our climate goals and core values.
As Mejuri continues to grow and expand our store count, our Scope 1 & 2 emissions have increased. However, we’re proud to see a continued decline in our GHG emissions intensity.
We track our emissions across Scope 1 (Direct), Scope 2 (Indirect), and Scope 3 (Other Indirect) to better understand our environmental impact and inform our decisions. Our commitment to transparency means we’ll continue sharing our total carbon footprint with our stakeholders. The next step on our roadmap focuses on collaborating with suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions, where we’ve identified the greatest opportunity for meaningful impact.
As a global business sourcing materials from nature, protecting biodiversity is vital to Mejuri’s future. Beyond necessity, it reflects our deep respect for the ecosystems that sustain us all.
As with all of our goals, our biodiversity and nature roadmaps began by identifying our largest areas of influence and, through the UN Global Compact Network Canada Biodiversity Working Group, built foundational knowledge to create our first nature roadmap aligned with our 2030 goals.
We completed biodiversity, water, and human rights assessments to map our most significant impacts and identify key activities and regions for action. Next, we plan to set nature-related targets using the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) or the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework, or both, to guide our future efforts.
