Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Armour Femme, we believe that beauty should not come at the expense of the planet. As a small jewelry business, we are dedicated to adopting sustainable practices that protect our environment while creating exquisite pieces that empower and inspire. Here’s how we prioritize sustainability in our operations:
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing
We partner with artisans and manufacturers who share our values of sustainability and craftsmanship. Our production processes focus on minimizing waste and using energy-efficient methods. By embracing small-batch manufacturing, we create unique jewelry pieces while reducing our overall environmental footprint.
Thoughtful Packaging
Our packaging is designed with the planet in mind. We utilize recyclable and biodegradable materials to reduce waste and minimize our carbon footprint. Our padded mailers' paper is recyclable, and the bubble bag itself is biodegradable, making them a great choice for the environment. We strive to limit excess packaging and choose sustainable options that protect our products while being kind to the environment.
All of our packaging and stationery is sourced from two trusted UK-based suppliers, ensuring that we:
- Support local economies and small businesses
- Minimize our carbon footprint by reducing shipping distances
-
Uphold our commitment to sustainable practices, from FSC-certified materials to plastic-free solutions.
Responsible Quantities
As a small business, we believe in quality over quantity. We carefully manage our production runs to avoid excess inventory and waste, ensuring that every piece is crafted with intention. Our focus on smaller batches allows us to maintain the integrity of our brand while promoting sustainability.
Fair Employment Practices
We collaborate with manufacturers who adhere to fair labor practices and prioritize the well-being of their workers. We carefully vet our partners to ensure they provide safe working conditions, fair wages, and respect for workers' rights. By working with responsible manufacturers, we support ethical labor practices throughout our supply chain.
As a small business owner, I am dedicated to fostering a positive work environment for myself and, by extension, supporting the communities in which our materials are sourced and our products are made. I believe in empowering artisans and workers by supporting manufacturers that invest in their local communities.
Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is a journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement. We actively seek feedback and explore new ways to enhance our practices, from refining our sourcing methods to adopting innovative packaging solutions. We believe that every step counts in our mission to protect the planet.
