Tiffany & Co.

James Quinn, President

Tiffany sources gemstones and precious metals from mines that operate at the highest levels of environmental responsibility. They will not use new mines in places of ecological value, and they collaborate with Earthworks and Oxfam on developing responsible mining practices. In addition, Tiffany no longer uses or sells coral because to do so damages ecosystems. The company supports research focused on protecting reef ecosystems and is a member of the No Dirty Gold campaign and the Climate Leaders Program to reduce energy use and greenhouse gases.
