US jewellery retailer Brilliant Earth secured validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its ambitious goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.
This accomplishment reinforces Brilliant Earth’s commitment to environmental responsibility and aligns with the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting global temperature rise to below 1.5°C.
“Many scientists believe that it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, but that we are dangerously close to that threshold,” said Brilliant Earth Co-Founder and CEO Beth Gerstein. “The greenhouse gas emissions targets are a major milestone in Brilliant Earth’s journey to create a more ethical jewellery industry.”
