Foundation of our work
THE IMPORTANCE TO SHARE OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our success and international reputation in the gemstone market is based on our core values and ethical guidelines. For us this is the basis of ensuring a responsible way of working - for now and for the future.
Our values are supported by the common ground of sustainability - both, for the environment and for the global community.
In our daily business we integrate these values and allow them to guide our work and our actions.
TRANSPARENCY
We share passion, we share knowledge,
we share perspectives
to let you step into the fascinating
universe of colored gemstones.
TRUST
We develop trusted relationships with our suppliers and customers.
Trust defines our principles and our ethical values, which is reflected in the value of our work.
VALUE
Our everyday-aim is to create valuable relationships, valuable work and valuable products.
The value of our work is far more than a market value - it is the result of quality, dedication and passion.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Full Circle Initiative
WE SHARE OUR PROFITS WITH NATURE AND PEOPLE
"Gemstones are precious gifts that Mother Nature offers us to admire and treasure their beauty and energy. They also provide opportunities to create values throughout the supply chain. Each gemstone is a custodian of its origin and a link to a world that is, in most cases, suffering under environmental destruction linked with social problems.
It's my vision to find ways to give a share of my company's profits back to the source. By closing the circle, I aim to increase awareness on environmental destruction, support the conservation of tropical rainforests and support local communities."
Alex Leuenberger,
founder of the Full Circle Initiative. February 2020.
