Any PANDORA product starts its journey with our in-house Design team. As a new piece evolves, our designers will make choices on which materials to use. Whenever new materials or suppliers are introduced, our Ethics teams are consulted in order to discuss potential environmental or social impacts. Such early interaction helps to ensure that PANDORA refrains from using potentially problematic materials – and it provides Group Ethics and other departments with valuable knowledge, enabling them to act in due time.
At PANDORA, we recognize that mining and processing of metals and stones are associated with adverse environmental impact. A recent study performed for PANDORA by the environmental cost consultancy Trucost, sought to quantify and value the hidden positive and negative externalities of different materials used in our manufacturing. The study calculates the financial cost of environmental damage (such as health cost associated with pollution) to society from various materials and crafting methods. The study revealed that using recycled precious metals and man-made stones significantly reduces the environmental cost compared to mined materials due to less environmental damage.
In 2015, PANDORA launched a new Code of Ethics, stipulating our ethical aspirations as a company and our ethical expectations to the behavior of our people. The code covers areas such as human rights, working conditions, environmental footprint, anti-corruption and supplier relations. Building on our ethics policies (available on www.pandoragroup.com/csr), the code offers our employees one common point of reference for ethical dilemmas backed by training modules spanning hiring procedures, workplace ethics and anti-harassment to fraud, gift giving and misuse of company assets.
