For Fashion

While some companies tout their eco and green moves above all things, Tiffany & Co. has made small, incremental and lasting changes in the way they do business. The company's work in environmental protection and sustainability was recently honored with the Corporate Responsibility Award from theEnvironmental Media Association. The awards, held earlier this month in Los Angeles, honor projects in the entertainment world and responsible institutions that bring eco-minded issues to light. Tiffany Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mike Kowalski said in his acceptance speech that Tiffany will continue to focus on ways to obtain precious metals and gemstones and craft jewelry that are socially and environmentally responsible. Tiffany's Foundation has supported many smaller jewelry companies which are working on sustainable projects through grants. While I still wish that Tiffany put these in brighter focus on their consumer website there is no denying the powerful force for good they can be and hopefully will continue to be in the jewelry world.
