In our first session of our new video-podcast "Aufpoliert" we have discussed the topics of sustainability in the jewelry industry, the problems of child labor and gender equality.
Our Top 3 Learnings from Session 1:
- Sustainability in the jewelry industry: the jewelry industry needs to address sustainable practices and responsible sourcing of raw materials. Consumers will increasingly pay attention to how and under what conditions products are made.
- Child labor: Child labor is a serious problem, especially in mining. By having transparent supply chains and buying raw materials from responsible sources, you can help avoid child labor and counteract human rights abuses.
- Equality: Women in small-scale mining often face wage inequality and lack of recognition. It is important to improve their situation and ensure fairer treatment in the industry.
