Ethics & Sustainability

As a design-led brand, we retail and wholesale our jewellery and fashion accessories across the UK to online customers, department stores and independent boutiques.
  
Tutti & Co is committed to trading relationships that are both commercially-viable and ethical. 
 
We seek to ensure that our products are manufactured to the highest technical and ethical standards by developing long-term trading relationships with our suppliers and customers.
 
We support fair trade and seek to operate with customers, manufacturers and sub-contractors who comply with our ethical trading policy.
 
Tutti & Co acts in an ethical manner, above and beyond basic legal requirements. The minimum labour standards we set to exceed and expect our own suppliers to comply with or exceed are as follows:
 
Employment should be freely chosen

Working conditions are safe and hygienic

Child labour is not used

Wages and benefits meet the minimum national legal standards

Working hours comply with national laws

No discrimination is practiced and human and civil rights are respected

As a company, we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously and are fully-committed to complying with or exceeding current legislation.

We have studied the legislative guidelines issued by the Department of the Environment and confirm that all the relative standards are being met or exceeded.
 
The company also wishes to incorporate the government definition of sustainable development, namely the maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment; prudent use of natural resources; social progress which recognises the needs of all people, and effective protection of the environment, whilst meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
 
As best policy, it is our stated intention to reduce and prevent pollution wherever possible. We have taken measures to reduce waste in all areas of the business.

Packaging received from suppliers is utilised for our own deliveries and what cannot be re-used is collected on a weekly basis by a specialist-recycling firm.   
 
Our gift packaging is made from recycled materials and is fully-recyclable. The re-useable pouches are made from traceable organic cotton, so they can be reused for many different purposes.
 
Employees are encouraged to share transport to and from work and for journeys undertaken during the working day. Company vehicles are electric and maintained to achieve maximum efficiency and minimum emissions.
 
Employees are encouraged to follow best practices in regards to environmental issues and we encourage feedback on how we can continue to cut down on and recycle waste, along with reducing energy use within the work place.
 
The company is fully-committed to continuous improvement and undertakes to review its environmental policy on an annual basis with a view to continual improvement.
