Protecting our planet is a priority. By embracing sustainable practices, we ensure that our actions today contribute to a lasting positive impact on the environment. These efforts align with our commitment to combat climate change and promote environmental responsibility, while actively working towards achieving net-zero emissions.
Reducing our GHG Emissions
In our recent launch, we've set an ambitious goal for a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. Our strategy involves a holistic approach, refining sustainability in the supply chain and intensifying energy efficiency measures. We also strive to inspire employee engagement in sustainable practices, embodying our commitment to building a greener workplace.
Packaging
Our packaging is designed with the environment in mind. We package each order in a durable and eco-friendly microfiber pouch and jewelry box. Our mailing boxes take it a step further, which are made entirely from 100% recycled materials, including sustainably sourced corrugated cardboard. This careful material selection aligns with our goal to reduce waste and encourage recycling.
Eco-Friendly Buildings
By 2028, we aspire to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for 20% of our total floor area, which is a pivotal step in our commitment to sustainable development. This involves the seamless integration of advanced energy-efficient technologies, such as smart lighting and HVAC systems, to optimize resource consumption. Additionally, we're actively incorporating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, into our buildings to further reduce our carbon footprint.
𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧
The commitment to responsible craftsmanship is at the core of our approach to jewelry. We believe ethical sourcing and streamlined supply chain practices are essential to maintaining the highest standards of quality and integrity in every piece we create.
Ethical Supply Chain
Azuri prides itself on operating a responsible supply chain that prioritizes ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, health and safety standards, and environmental protection. We engage closely with our suppliers through open communication, regular audits, and support to ensure safe and fair working conditions.
Recycling Products
By integrating large-scale recyclers into our operations, we are able to effectively reduce waste by responsibly managing returned or defective products. This guarantees that products reaching the end of their lifecycle are disposed of efficiently, diverting them from landfills.
Manufacturing Suppliers Map
We've built a strong network of trusted suppliers who strive to meet industry sustainability standards set by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). This partnership reinforces our pledge to source products ethically and sustainably at every stage of our supply chain.
𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘
We actively engage with our community by supporting human rights, addressing poverty, and making charitable donations. Our commitment to social responsibility drives us to participate in local initiatives and contribute resources to organizations that uplift vulnerable populations.
Charitable Efforts
At Azuri, we believe in giving back to communities in need. That's why we're ready to share our plans to donate a percentage of sales from select products to the Zakat Foundation of America, as well as providing essential aid to Gaza and the West Bank amidst the ongoing conflict.
Culture
In our workplace, collaboration, diversity, and creativity is at the core of our work culture. With team members representing a multitude of nationalities, we celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that each person brings to the table. We believe that by bringing together individuals with different backgrounds and skills, we can tackle challenges more effectively and drive innovation.

Raising Awareness
Through our collaborative efforts, we actively promote awareness surrounding pressing global issues, such as the ongoing conflict in Gaza. We leverage the dynamic reach of our social media platforms to encourage support for peace and humanitarian efforts in Gaza and the West Bank, while countering misinformation.
