Our Commitments

TRANSFORMING MISSION INTO IMPACT

We aim to create deep, long-standing relationships with communities that can have a measurable impact over time.

2030 Sustainability Goals

We’re committed to making a positive impact in the fine jewelry industry and within our communities. That’s why we’re sharing our long-term goals across four key impact areas: people, planet, product, and philanthropy. We’ve aligned our ambitions with international best practices and frameworks, and our eyes are set on achieving these goals by 2030.


Continuing our commitment to report twice a year, we are sharing the measures of success we’ve chosen to help us work toward our 2030 Goals. We will continue to update this twice a year.

PEOPLE

We will support Mejuri's growth by setting ambitious standards for our partners and suppliers in key areas and fostering positive social impact in local communities.

We will strive to create an authentic, connected community in which every member influences our culture as a whole while emphasizing personal and professional development.

PLANET

We will go beyond carbon neutral in our value chain by working to remove additional carbon from the atmosphere through restoration and conservation projects where we and our suppliers operate.

PRODUCT

We will design products and packaging with their entire lifecycle in mind, creating circular pathways such as repair, resale, and recycling

We will educate customers about the origins of their responsibly sourced products, from the precious materials we use to the location of craftsmanship.

PHILANTHROPY

A Year of Action: Reproductive Rights Advocacy

The overturning of Roe v. Wade presents an unprecedented rollback of reproductive rights and marks a direct attack on our team—over 79% of whom identify as women and 36% are based in the U.S.* It is our collective responsibility to protect one another and put a stake in the ground for what we believe.


We partnered with Don’t Ban Equality, a coalition of nonprofits (including Planned Parenthood Federation of America, BSR, and the American Civil Liberties Union), to form a committee of like-minded brands using our voice and reach to help protect access to reproductive healthcare and advocate for equal rights. 


Through fundraising events, community initiatives, and amplification on our platforms, we will continue to mobilize the community and provide much-needed education about the issues at hand.

No-questions-asked time off

As well as travel and lodging reimbursements for any employees needing to seek an abortion out of state

Coverage of all contraceptives

Full coverage by insurance without cost-sharing

Design Thinking Africa

Our collaboration with Design Thinking Africa is the beginning of our Empowerment Funds' philanthropic endeavors within our international supply chain. The program teaches precision gemstone cutting and polishing to women in Zambia to uplift them and their communities.


In 2023, ten women received scholarships to upskill their polishing abilities. The long-term goal of our partnership with Design Think Africa is to support women in Zambia so they can promote local economic development by directly supplying Zambian mined and polished stones to jewelers.

"It's not just about mastering gem cutting; it's about shaping futures and fostering inclusivity."

-Esnart Zulu, Student and Scholarship Recipient

Charitable Initiatives

Established in 2020, our Empowerment Fund supports women and non-binary people's access to skills through traditional or non-traditional education to help them design the life they want.


To date, we've donated $823,000 USD in scholarships and advocacy partnerships across the US and Canada, including to initiatives such as:


Regeneration: A Revolutionary Re-Mining Initiative

Hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines, deemed "legacy mines," exist around the world. If left untreated, some legacy mines pollute sensitive watersheds, ecosystems, and native species.


We’re proud Founding Partners and the exclusive jewelry sector partner of Regeneration, a revolutionary re-mining initiative from RESOLVE, dedicated to rehabilitating legacy mining sites and restoring surrounding natural environments.

"A jewelry supply chain with nature-positive gold. That takes innovation and partnership. That’s why we’re partnering with Mejuri to process gold from waste and restore habitat."

—Stephen D'Esposito, CEO, Regeneration

Regeneration utilizes modern, efficient mining practices to extract valuable minerals from mine tailings, waste rock, and water surrounding these sites, helping to clean and restore the environment while attaining minerals in a far more eco-friendly fashion.


Not only will these precious minerals help in our global energy transition, but earnings from the sale of these responsibly sourced materials will be reinvested to help fund habitat restoration and mine closure activities—including at legacy and former mine sites.


Regeneration will also seek to create and trade biodiversity and carbon credits by rehabilitating land and generating environmental offsets.
