An Open Forum on Sustainability and Responsible Sourcing in the Jewelry Industry March 11-13, 2016 © Innovation Partners International

We encourage the industry individually and collectively to: 1. Procure products sourced in a manner that protects and sustains the environment, respects and benefits the persons and communities where these products are found. 2. Use business methods and engage in actions designed to promote and sustain the growth and development of the people and communities where products are sourced, manufactured, traded and sold. 3. Continue to take affirmative steps towards ensuring legal compliance, transparency, open and legitimate business practices by actively engaging in and managing everyday actions through the business supply chain 4. Commit to existing international standards including the UN Guiding Principles on human rights and OECO Guidelines for multinational enterprises. 22

We Crafted 4 High Level Next Steps 2. Communication recommendations: 1. Staying connected with everyone who attended the Summit:  Create a distribution list  Create a mass email strategy
