Celebrate Earth Day as we embark on a journey from the depths of Alberta’s mines to the dazzling, vibrant and investment-worthy Ammolite gemstone. Traceability, responsible sourcing, transparent supply chains, and sustainable practice are beyond buzzwords at Iniskim – here, it is how we help revolutionize the Ammolite industry.
The goal: to collectively push the envelope towards responsible Ammonite and Ammolite industry practices that honour our planet.
Join us as we explore the vital importance of ethical sourcing and sustainability, ensuring that every Iniskim Ammolite gemstone reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental and ethical integrity.
Ethically Sourced – Iniskim Ammolite Gemstone
In 2004, the Mining Association of Canada (MAC) launched the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative, a groundbreaking effort that established an international benchmark for ethical mining practices. As the pioneering mining standard globally, TSM strives to elevate environmental and social performance across the industry.
Ethical mining under TSM encompasses several key principles, including stringent safety measures to protect workers, fair wages for laborers, and the adoption of eco-friendly equipment and techniques.
Since the introduction of Canada’s TSM, mining jurisdictions worldwide have followed suit, enhancing their own standards to align with ethical practices. Today, gemstones sourced from ethical mines are highly valued by collectors and buyers who prioritize responsibly-sourced stones.
While mining inherently carries some environmental impact, the ethical mining initiative aims to mitigate harm to the Earth, workers, and surrounding communities. In the case of Ammolite, unique to Alberta, Canada, mining operations adhere to the country’s rigorous standards. These typically involve artisanal mines, smaller-scale operations known for employing methods with minimal environmental footprint.
When you choose Iniskim Ammolite, you’re not just acquiring a gemstone; you’re investing in an ethical commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing. Let’s celebrate Earth’s natural treasure, where beauty meets conscience.
