At PAPAZIAN, we believe that luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. Since our founding in 1963, we have committed to producing high-quality, environmentally responsible jewelry displays that stand the test of time. As a company serving customers worldwide, we understand our responsibility to minimize our environmental impact and foster sustainable practices throughout every step of our production process.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND SOURCING: We carefully select our materials to ensure they align with our sustainability goals. Our two main fabric suppliers, WINTER & COMPANY and ALCANTARA, are leaders in the industry when it comes to eco-consciousness and ethical standards.
WINTER & COMPANY (www.winter-company.com): We proudly use materials from WINTER & COMPANY, who hold a REACH compliance certificate. This ensures that the substances used in their products meet the European Union's stringent health, safety, and environmental standards.
ALCANTARA (www.alcantara.com): ALCANTARA holds a prestigious Carbon Neutral certification from TÜV SÜD. Being Carbon Neutral means that, after offsetting, ALCANTARA's products maintain a net-zero balance of greenhouse gas emissions across all stages—from raw material supply to production, from product use to end-of-life.
ECO-FRIENDLY MANUFACTURING PRACTICES:
We take great care to minimize the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes. Our skilled artisans work with precision to reduce waste, and we are constantly exploring new methods to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. We believe in making durable, long-lasting products, which helps us further reduce waste and consumption. Sustainable Packaging We are equally mindful of the environmental impact of our packaging. We have minimized the use of plastics and non-recyclable materials, opting instead for packaging solutions that are either recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable. Our goal is to ensure that our packaging is as sustainable as the products it protects.
FAIR AND ETHICAL PRODUCTION:
PAPAZIAN is built on the foundation of fairness and respect. Our artisans are the backbone of our company, and we are committed to providing them with safe, fair working conditions and equitable compensation. We believe that sustainability extends beyond the environment—it includes the people who craft our products with care and expertise.
OUR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT JOURNEY:
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to constantly improving our practices. We regularly evaluate our processes and seek out new innovations that will further reduce our environmental footprint. Our goal is to continue building a company that values both luxury and sustainability in equal measure.
CERTIFICATIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS:
We are proud to partner with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. Our use of REACH-compliant materials from WINTER & COMPANY and carbon-neutral fabrics from ALCANTARA are key steps in our sustainability strategy.
We look forward to continuing this journey, hand-in-hand with our customers, to create a better, greener future for all.
