The Ethical Making Resource is a website for anyone looking for information about responsible and sustainable making practices in the jewellery and silversmithing industry. This Resource was created to bring together information about ethical making and to provide clear and practical ways for students, educators, small businesses and independent jewellers and silversmiths to engage with ethical making. The Resource includes information about what ethical making means, how to implement specific practices, where to source materials sustainably and fairly, and a news section. The Resource was launched in 2017 by The Scottish Goldsmiths Trust thanks to the input from various industry professionals.
What is Ethical Making?
We consider ‘Ethical Making’ to be practice(s) which strive for a positive impact and minimise negative impacts identified. To define this, we use the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to help prioritise and communicate areas for social, environmental and economic impact, in particular SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production).
