The CDP has become the leading standard for carbon disclosure methodology and process and its Web site is the largest repository of corporate greenhouse gas emissions data in the world.

Since its inception in 1837, Tiffany & Co. has been guided by the belief that a successful company has a responsibility to the greater community. The Tiffany & Co. Foundation makes grants to nonprofit organizations dedicated to environmental conservation and arts education and preservation.

Tiffany is committed to doing its part to address the crises of global warming by focusing on energy conservation. To that end, in 2007 Tiffany signed onto the United States Envirnomental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program,an industry-governmental partnership that works to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Tiffany & Co is committed to understanding and reducing their impact on the global environment by completing a company-wide inventory of their greenhouse gas emissions based on a quality management system, setting aggressive reduction goals and annually reporting their progress. In 2006 they installed two very large solar power systems in their distribution facilities in New Jersey to replace carbon-fuel generated power. The installations generate approximately 14 megawatts annually, which represents 35% of the electricity needs of the facilities.

This magnificent Elsa Peretti® pendant has the feeling of fabulous finds—stone, silk, pearl—discovered in her travels to exotic places and shaped into wearable art. A 135-carat rubellite is the enchanting captive of a silk net created by master artisans in Kyoto, Japan. Finely woven threads crisscross the stone’s polished contours and flow into a great tassel of texture and movement. Accented with a Tahitian pearl, the pendant celebrates Elsa Peretti’s elegant simplicity and her creative use of centuries-old crafts. This Rubellite pendant in a hand-woven silk net with a Tahitian pearl by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. values as $36,000.

Tahitian pearls are produced in the black-lipped oyster ‘Pinctada margaritifera’, in and around Tahiti and the French Polynesian islands. This oyster itself is quite large - sometimes over 12 inches across and weighing as much as 10 pounds - which often results in much larger-than-average pearls. The pearls are unique because of their natural dark colors. Most “black” Tahitian pearls are not actually black, but are instead silver, charcoal, or a multitude of colors with the dominant color being green. Truly black pearls are among the most beautiful pearls in the world, and are extremely rare.

Tiffany’s corporate goal is to make certain that at least 90% of the paper used in their packaging materials and cataloguesis certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council(FSC). The FSC promotes environmentally and socially responsible management of the world’s firests. The FSC evaluates both forest management activities (forest certification) and tracking of forest products through factories to the markplace (chain-of-custody certification). FSC certification assures that wood and paper products come from renewable and well-managed resources. They also are proud to have partnered in the development of a new grade of FSC-certified paper that contains 30% post-consumer waste content; this paper will be used to print Tiffany’s seasonal Selections catalogues.

Corals, although often mistaken for plants or rocks, are living animals and are among the most critically important creatures in the sea. Together with the associated reef system which they help create, orals provide marine life with food, fertile frounds for reproduction and safe havens from predators.

Today, corals are in crisis – the result of destructive fishing methods, climate change, pollution and their removal for use as decorative home objects in aquariums and jewelry.

Recognizing that there is no sustainable way to harvest corals without damaging critical marine ecosystems, Tiffany has refused to use ral corals in their collections since 2002. They urge other users of coral to join them in a formal “No Coral Sales” policy.

An estimated 90 percent of the world’s rubies originate in Myanmar(formerly known as Burma). The Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003 outlawed the importation to the U.S. of gemstons from that nation due to its human rights vuolations. Many jewelers exploited a loophole in the law by purchasing rubies mined in Myanmar but cut and polished in other countries. Tiffany & Co., however, stopped buying rubies, jade and spinel originating in Myanmar. In July of 2008, the President signed legislation banning the importation of gemstones from Myanmar into the U.S. (the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE ACT of 2008). This stricter law closes the loophole created by the earlier act. Tiffany salutes this embargo. This sanction is an important step by the U.S. to help secure basic freedom for the Burmese people.

If reforms are to succeed, we believe taxpayers must be fairly compensated for minerals taken form public lands, that protection of the envirnoment must be enhanced and that business certainty for companies and communities dependent on mining must be improved.

The toxic legacy of abandoned mines in the American West is also a matter of great concern to Tiffany. Under current law, government enities, ninprofits, private parties and other organizations may incur liability for voluntarily cleaning up mine-related pollution that did not cause. Tiffany supports protection of these “Good Samaritans” to encourage efforts to effectively deal with these mines and to establish a permanent source of funding for them.
