The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:
sustainability practices
Futura Jewelry exclusively uses 18kt Certified Fairmined Ecological gold, sourced from mines that operate without toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide. This practice significantly reduces environmental degradation and promotes safer working conditions for miners.
The brand's partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Global Mercury Partnership further underscores its dedication to reducing mercury emissions globally.
Additionally, Futura employs a made-to-order production model to minimize waste and utilizes sustainable packaging materials, such as beechwood boxes sourced from sustainably managed forests in New Zealand.
