Heavenly London: One Year of B Corp Certification

Holly's Golden Touch Reading Heavenly London: One Year of B Corp Certification 3 minutes

Annual Sustainability Report 2025

Introduction

A year ago, Heavenly London became a Certified B Corporation — a milestone that formalised what’s been in our DNA from the beginning: doing business beautifully and responsibly. Becoming a B Corp wasn’t a finish line; it was a framework for continuous improvement. This year, we’ve focused on deepening our impact — reducing waste, refining our supply chain, and continuing to prove that modern luxury can be both ethical and irresistible.


Our Progress This Year

1. Responsible Materials

  • Recycled Silver & Gold: Over 90% of our silver jewellery is now made from recycled sterling silver

  • Lab-Grown & Alternative Stones: Over 90% of new designs launched this year feature lab-grown diamonds, moissanite, or cubic zirconia,  all offering brilliance without the mining impact.

  • Made-to-Order Model: We expanded our Made-to-Order collection, reducing overproduction and dead stock by 27%.


2. Conscious Production

  • We partner with small, family-run workshops in Thailand and Italy who uphold fair wages and safe working conditions.

  • Introduced slow launch cycles — focusing on timeless design and small, meaningful drops rather than fast-trend releases.

  • Each piece is hand-finished and quality checked in Wiltshire, minimising waste and transport emissions.


3. Planet-Friendly Packaging

  • All boxes, cards, and tissue are FSC-certified and printed with eco inks.

  • We have eliminated all plastic inserts from our packaging and reduced shipment packaging by 38% through smarter design.

  • Our inserts now tell our story — from being a female-founded, second-generation business to our kind-not-mined ethos.


4. People & Community

  • As a small, female-led team, we champion flexible, family-friendly working and invest in the professional growth of every team member.

  • We continued our partnership with Womankind Worldwide, donating 15% of proceeds from selected collaborations.

  • We hosted our first International Women’s Day campaign, spotlighting female founders and creatives shaping their industries with purpose.


5. Transparency & Governance

  • We maintain open reporting across our supply chain — every piece can be traced from design to dispatch.

  • We’ve embedded sustainability KPIs into our business planning, aligning with B Corp’s five key pillars: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.

  • We use our small size as a strength — staying agile, transparent, and personally accountable for every choice we make.


Looking Ahead

In the year ahead, we’re focusing on:

  • Expanding our circular initiatives, including repair, reuse, and resale options.

  • Introducing carbon footprint tracking for our top 50 SKUs.

  • Funding a female business student scholarship, supporting the next generation of ethical entrepreneurs.


Closing Note

At Heavenly London, sustainability isn’t a marketing line — it’s how we stay true to the world and the women who inspire us.
We’re proud of what we’ve achieved in one year as a B Corp, but even prouder to know this is just the beginning.

Kind, not mined, always.
