At Vero, our ethos centers on authenticity, understated luxury, and meaningful impact. We strive to reflect these core values not only in our design philosophy but also in how we operate day to day—ensuring that our business practices respect both people and the planet.

- Ethically Sourced Metals
We partner with suppliers that provide recycled gold, silver, or other metals wherever possible, reducing the demand for newly mined resources
- Conflict-Free Stones
Our gemstones are sourced from accredited partners who adhere to conflict-free and fair labor standards, helping to ensure that our materials are free from human rights abuses.
3. Minimizing Environmental Footprint
- Reducing Waste
- Packaging: We use minimal, recyclable packaging materials that protect each piece of jewelry while limiting landfill waste
- Office & Studio Practices: Our teams prioritize paperless processes, properly recycle e-waste, and limit single-use plastics in daily operations.
- Carbon Consciousness
We are exploring ways to measure and offset our carbon emissions, including partnering with organizations focused on reforestation or clean-energy initiatives.
4. Fair Labor & Community Engagement
- Ethical Workshops
Each workshop we partner with must follow strict guidelines for safe working conditions, fair wages, and reasonable working hours
- Local Partnerships
Whenever feasible, we collaborate with local artisans and small businesses to strengthen community ties and keep our production footprint low.
5. Social Responsibility & Giving Back
- Philanthropic Initiatives
We periodically donate a portion of proceeds to organizations that support environmental conservation or social welfare. Our customers can also opt to round up purchases to contribute to these causes.

Vero encourages employees to take part in volunteer days, helping local charities or environmental cleanups, fostering a culture of giving and engagement.

We regularly assess our supply chain to identify areas of improvement and work toward recognized sustainability certifications

We welcome feedback from customers, employees, and partners to refine our practices, aiming for greater transparency and accountability each year.
7. Future Commitment
- Material Innovation
We are actively researching new eco-friendly materials (like lab-grown diamonds or alternative metals) that maintain the same level of luxury while having a smaller environmental footprint
- Expanding Offsetting Programs
As we refine our carbon footprint calculations, we plan to partner with reputable carbon offset programs to neutralize the impact of our operations and shipping processes.
