Positive Change and Brand Responsibility at SETT 

Your trust in SETT is not something we take lightly. We understand the environmental and social responsibilities we have as a company, and want to honor your trust by proving that our commitment to sustainability is real.

While we're proud of what we've been able to achieve thus far, we're determined to continue improving every step of our production ecosystem towards building a more ethical and responsible brand each and every year. 

ETHICALLY-SOURCED MATERIALS

We are involved in every aspect of the production process to ensure it adheres to the highest environmental and quality standards – from sourcing all the way to delivery.

Our company headquarters is decreasing all single-use plastic, and our dedicated recycling bins ensure we create as little waste as possible. The SETT production workshop uses materials that are locally-sourced, in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. The jewelry pieces are made in small batches to ensure high quality and minimized waste.

Today, 80% of the silver, gold plating, and vermeil we use is recycled. That’s important, as using recycled silver cuts CO2 emissions by up to two thirds. By the end of 2024, we plan to be using 90% recycled silver, gold plating, and vermeil. 

CONSCIOUS CRAFTS(WO)MANSHIP

Our fine, high-quality pieces are available thanks to the hard work of our jewelry makers. These men and women have been with us from the very beginning , and play an essential part in the SETT family.

Yes - fair working conditions are a must for every business. But the close relationships within our teams means it’s also a personal commitment for us. Here are some of our uncompromising standards:
●Employee well-being always comes first
●Employee rights must be kept
●Employees receive fair wages
●Work safety is strictly kept
●Employees work reasonable working hours and receive nutritious meals
●Weekly sporting events will be held to help everyone stay active and healthy

POLLUTION-FREE METHODS

SETT switched its packaging to 100% wood-free recyclable materials manufactured in pollution-free methods.

This was part of an ongoing brand-wide effort to make SETT fully carbon-neutral. Even now, we’re constantly researching new ways to minimize our impact on the environment and go even greener.

SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING

Shipping is one of the most carbon-expensive processes in e-commerce. That’s why sustainability is a core requirement for all delivery providers at SETT. Here are some of the innovative practices already implemented to manage our delivery footprint:
●Suppliers are committed to carbon neutrality
●Facilities are powered by renewable energy
●Couriers drive fully electric/hybrid commercial delivery vehicles In addition, SETT advocates for new regulations to address climate change issues in the delivery industry.

THE ROAD AHEAD

We’re working non-stop to research and implement new, creative methods to support our community and environment. Our team members learn, educate others, and take action to ensure that we leave this world more beautiful than we found it.

We’ve set several key goals, including using 100% recycled packaging materials and 90% recycled silver by 2024, as well as operating as close to zero emissions as possible. Keep following SETT to take part in our journey to make this world a better and greener place for everyone.
