SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFIED: VENTURA EARNS CSR ACCREDITATION
Saturday 29 March, 2025
We’re proud to share that Ventura has received a formal accreditation from CSR-A, a new milestone in our ongoing sustainability journey.
Sustainability has always been part of our ethos at Ventura, from responsible sourcing to sustainable packaging, charitable giving and more. But for us, it’s not a box-ticking exercise or a final destination—it’s a continuous journey of steady, thoughtful improvement.
That’s why we were drawn to CSR-A (Corporate Social Responsibility Accreditation). Their process refreshingly balances rigour —on a par with heavyweight industry frameworks, such as the Responsible Jewellery Council—while being more accessible to growing businesses like ours. We submitted detailed evidence of our current practices, which was carefully reviewed by their independent panel.
The result? A formal Bronze Accreditation, recognising the work we’ve done so far—and inspiring us to keep pushing forward. We’re already working with CSR-A on the next phase of improvements, and we look forward to sharing more of our progress with you over the coming months.
Thank you for supporting a brand that believes in doing better, step by step.
