Social responsibility

1. Handling natural material
2. Ecological and fair traded precious metals
3. Fair wages and secure jobs
4. Respect for human rights

1. Handling natural material

We treat the natural materials entrusted to us, such as ash, hair and breast milk, with care and respect. In the production of each jewelry frame, we only choose high-quality precious metals such as silver, gold, palladium and platinum. These metals create commemorative jewellery that is durable, valuable and polishable.

2. Ecological and fair traded precious metals

We only buy silver, gold, palladium and platinum from precious metal wholesalers and divorce companies that know their supply chains.

The precious metals come from ethically and ecologically justifiable sources. Famous gold labels:

    • Green Gold Label: The gold was mined in respect of human rights, social responsibilities and compliance with ecological guidelines. In addition, the gold complies with the Conflict-Free Gold Standard, and no warring parties are supported by the mining.
    • Oekogold Label: The gold comes exclusively from the recycling cycle and not directly from a mine.

3. Fair wages and secure jobs

As a German company, we rely on automation and digitalization to create valuable and exciting jobs. We achieve this through modern machines and efficient work processes. Every worker receives a wage that is available on the market, because everyone should be able to live well on his or her income. We are actively working against bullying in the workplace.

4. Respect for human rights

This Directive sets out the obligation of milk-design Manufaktur GmbH to respect human rights, to refrain from acts that contribute to the financing of conflicts, and to comply with the relevant United Nations resolutions and the laws implementing these resolutions.

    • No involvement in or acceptance of bribery, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing
    • Ensuring transparency in payments to public authorities and the legally compliant use of security forces in the resource-extracting sector
    • No direct or indirect support for illegal armed groups
    • In addition to our self-commitment, we use our influence to prevent violations by third parties.

This directive was reviewed and approved by the management on 1 June 2020.
