In recognizing the health of the natural environment and its direct effect on the pearl trade, Gem Marketing Pearls is proud to launch our “Pearls of Change” conservation and sustainability campaign. It is our desire to initiate a comprehensive program highlighting practices and procedures to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle. We encourage our customers to also consider becoming a member of our “Pearls of Change” campaign or adopting similar sustainability practices as we all move forward to make the world a better place for the future.

Below are examples of ways we all can begin to make a difference. Gem Marketing Pearls is currently dedicated to the following conservation policies. We all have the power to affect real change.

Please make reducing, reusing and recycling part of your everyday routines.

- Reduce the use of, and recycle when appropriate, all business paper. Reuse the “blank” backside for internal documents.

- First reducing then reusing and recycling all shipping materials, when possible. Use the shipping option that has the least impact with regards to fuel use. Overnight shipping should be limited to emergencies, only. “Ground” is best.

- Use a high quality recycled paper with the highest “post consumer” content possible.

- Employ fluorescent light bulbs when old incandescent bulbs need replacing.

- Turn down the thermostat during cold periods to 68 degrees, and the AC up to at least 74 degrees.

- Refill a reusable water bottle and recycle all plastics, possible.

- Considering a high-mileage or alternative fuel automobile only when existing one has been “used up”. Keep your automobile in good working order through regular maintenance. It will last a LONG time, this way.

- Consciously think about every drop of water and its use. Conserve whenever and wherever possible. Xeroscape your landscape for huge water savings.

- Limiting travel as much as possible. This includes using technology to communicate much of what was historically done in person. Bundle tasks and client visits to limit automobile mileage. Gem Marketing Pearls also works closely with our sources to provide consistency in our product purchases while encouraging them to visit OUR trade shows to network with more buyers in one place, thus eliminating the need for so many people to travel to “buy”.

- Working closely with pearl industry trade organizations to encourage and support the adoption and use of sustainable pearl culturing practices.
