Your Sustainable Jewelry Partner
Arihant Jewelry believes in the importance of protecting the environment by adopting a green business strategy. We acknowledge the resources and energy consumed for jewelry production, and we are constantly adjusting to reduce our environmental footprint each year through policies, actions, and tangible goals.
Our company has implemented a recycling program to sort our general waste, encourage recycling habits, and foster a green culture amongst the Arihant Jewelry family. We also have an extensive waste management system and an in-house water treatment facility to ensure the safe disposal of the chemicals used in our production process. We balance out the acidity in our wastewater with an alkaline solution and add coagulants to separate the water from harmful chemicals and heavy metals. The treated water is tested to ensure it meets the Industry Standard Laws before being released from our treatment pool. Our water samples are also regularly sent to a third-party laboratory to confirm our findings.
For our air quality, we have installed a Bag Filtering System to help filter out harmful particles and silver dust from our production facility. To confirm that our air quality meets the standard levels of environmental regulations, we measure the particulate matter in the air released from our manufacturing facility every six months.
Arihant Jewelry uses the Higg Index to assess our production processes and to hold us accountable for our environmental footprint..
Beyond the daily green practices in our company, Arihant also organizes eco-trips to foster environmentally-friendly values within our team. We hope that our efforts in protecting the environment and replenishing our forests will produce a positive impact beyond our organization.
Arihant Jewelry began measuring our Corporate Carbon Footprint in 2022, allowing us to build short and long-term plans to reduce our Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. We are training our employees on energy-saving habits, changing our machines to more energy-efficient components, and implementing solar panels for renewable energy in our company.
Giving back to our community is one of our priorities. Not only do we take care of our people, Arihant Jewelry also prioritizes the wellness of our society. We organize yearly community service activities and donate to various charitable causes around Rajasthan. From holding career training courses for the blind to providing for children with disabilities, to donating daily necessities to the elderly, Arihant Jewelry believes in community development through kindness.
As a passion of our Owner Vikas Baid, we focus on efforts to provide education for children in Rajasthan. One such occasion is our visit to Jaipur school in Jaipur, providing grants and school supplies to their students. Arihant Jewelry also has an education project in the Jaipur area. We have also donated resources and built facilities such as dresses & books for the children from the schools around the area. We hope to provide these children with a strong foundation of knowledge, allowing them to attain more opportunities in the future, and to excel in whatever path they choose.
Beyond education, we have also donated to the elderly, the blind, and the community around us, uplifting our community one effort at a time.
We value our responsibility to our customers and our business partners. Arihant Jewelry continues to develop and improve in order to build a profitable, sustainable, and responsible corporation.
Arihant Jewelry regularly communicates with our partners to ensure that our practices comply with the needs of our customers. We also believe in recruiting and retaining talented individuals in our organization to build a strong and sustainable entity. To this end, we support our employees by advancing their careers through regular training opportunities.
Arihant Jewelry believes that prioritizing our Corporate Social Responsibility creates favorable outcomes by increasing safety, reducing emissions, costs, and risks. Our goal is to maintain corporate legitimacy and create competitive advantages for our company. As such, Arihant Jewelry is a proud member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified to ensure the establishment of a sustainable and standardized business.
Periods remain a taboo topic worldwide. We shy away from toilet talk, but I’ve found the courage to speak out. As a jewellery consultant entrenched in the Indian export scene to the UK, I often advise companies on how to attract major British brands. Recently, one asked about winning business from a sustainability-focused UK brand. My advice: step up sustainability efforts beyond green washing. As a consultant, I can see beyond the fake efforts, paying a company who claim to plant trees. Reflecting on my journey, I pondered the real changes needed. As a woman, I intimately understand workplace challenges. Each month, I grapple with stress, privacy, and period worries. It led me to a critical question: how do women in India manage? Inspired by their resilience, I’ve launched this campaign for women. My aim is to get British and Indian brands to support me.
