Deep Dive Into Responsible Sourcing Definitions: What Does it Actually Mean??? A conversation with Christina Malle and Alexandra Hart
This will be a close look at the definitions, assertions and basically “the fine print,” often in the FAQ section of a brand or vendor's website. We will have a conversation and answer questions while we look at screen shots of the fine print on pages of actual websites of different jewelers, brands and vendors. No names will be revealed! This is not intended to shame or spotlight a particular designer or vendor, but rather (with names redacted!), look at actually web pages or social media posts to help understand what the heck people are actually saying. For example: what definition of “recycled” are they using? How can we even figure that out and what questions can we ask? What on earth does “responsible sourcing” mean for a brand or vendor? We’ll do our best to stay focused on the practical, the useful and the helpful!
This will be a practical, eyes-on look at a variety of websites and will include some concrete steps we can all take to be kinder to mother earth.
