JEWELLERY & WATCHES
DANIELLA DRAPER
Daniella Draper is an independent family-run business, founded in 2009, built upon the fine British values of integrity and hard work. With strong ties to our customers, communities and industry, we are a tight knit team working together to build the go to brand for luxury, sustainable jewellery. Made in England, inspired by nature, designed for lifetimes of love.
SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE
At Daniella Draper, the inspiration they take from the natural world comes with an inherent responsibility to preserve and protect it. This ambition is integral in their work to create authentic design with care, craft and purpose. Being open about this commitment to sustainability is celebrated in the everyday efforts many of the team already take to do their bit. Transparency on this journey is of utmost importance to Daniella Draper. Sustainability is a continuous journey, not a destination, which means that the brand will never stop developing their approach. From continuing their efforts towards supply chain transparency with raw materials, to fulfilling the SME Climate Hub commitment they have made to halve their greenhouse gas emissions before 2030 and achieve zero emissions before 2050, Daniella Draper wants to welcome everyone into the process.

REAL CHANGE IN ACTION
WASTE & CIRCULARITY
Daniella Draper champions circular business models by choosing 100% recycled gold and silver in all their jewellery collections. In addition, 10% of their diamonds come from vintage jewellery bought at auction. The brand has adopted a strict waste management policy throughout their operations and ensures all scrap silver and gold is collected and sent for recycling, including floor sweepings, to ensure waste sent to landfill is kept at a minimum.
CLIMATE & ENERGY
To continue to lower their environmental impact, Daniella Draper has now conducted their first carbon footprint calculation to begin setting clear reduction targets and has partnered with Ecologi to offset emissions incurred by employee commutes to work. The brand’s redefined energy conservation strategy lays out tangible targets of 5% energy usage reduction in the coming year. Daniella Draper uses renewable energy to power their office and store locations and has upgraded to only use hybrid company vehicles. The brand ensures sustainable logistics through strong partnerships with DHL and DPD that use route optimisation algorithms and electric delivery van fleets as part of their sustainability programme to reduce emissions from transportation.
SUPPLY CHAIN & MANUFACTURING
Daniella Draper focuses heavily on supply chain sustainability and traceability and follows a thorough supplier selection process as part of their overall sustainability strategy. 100% of the brand’s gold suppliers are Fairtrade Gold Certified, while 42% of suppliers hold Responsible Jewellery Council Chain of Custody certification. Meanwhile, 90% of all sourced diamonds are covered by the World Diamond Council System of Warranties and 80% of their diamond suppliers have adopted the Kimberley Process System of Warranties. The brand has also introduced supplier codes of conduct and ESG questionnaires as part of its overall sourcing policy to ensure transparency and facilitate communication with its suppliers.
CULTURE
Ensuring health, well-being, diversity & inclusion with clearly documented policies and employee training continues to be a priority for Daniella Draper. The brand has introduced a clear employee engagement and skills development programme for their teams and supports local communities through donations to various charities, including Women’s Aid and Refuge. Priorities and opportunities for support are chosen by liaising with chosen local charities to understand the best way to support them. Meanwhile, through their partnership with Ecologi, to date Daniella Draper has contributed to the delivery of 38 projects worldwide, from distributing fuel-efficient cookware in Tanzania to supporting solar power projects in Vietnam and Peruvian protection efforts of the Amazon rain forest to support communities in need all around the globe.
