Artisanal goldsmith Shakti Ellenwood announced her certification as a B Corporation (or B Corp), joining a growing group of companies reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit.

Shakti Ellenwood Precious Jewellery has been certified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, as having met the rigourous social and environmental standards representing her commitment to goals beyond profit. This landmark achievement highlights Shakti's desire to use business as a force for good.

Shakti says,

 "I am delighted to be the first artisanal goldsmith in the UK (fourth jewellery brand) to have become a B Corp, and I am particularly proud of my exceptionally high score of 113.7.  

 This achievement was made possible by previous steps she had taken to become a more ethical business, such as: 

  • The sole use of 18ct Fairtrade gold in her designs.
  • The sourcing of ethical sapphires and use of CanadaMark diamonds
  • The Giving Back Project, set up in 2015, sees Shakti donate over 2% of sales to social and environmental causes.
  • 1% for the Planet membership (https://www.onepercentfortheplanet.org)
  • A neutral carbon footprint.

 "It has always been vital to me to create handcrafted jewellery that cares for our planet and its inhabitants while giving back to underprivileged communities."
