As we all know times are tough for many people, and I firmly believe that if in a position to help in some way then I should. This also applies to objectives towards helping the environment as well, which we as a company are making great strides towards.

Diamonds For Peace

As a responsible business owner and one who believes that fairness for all is important. I was very moved when I heard a talk by a representative of Diamonds For Peace. 

The mission for this organisation is straightforward:

1. To improve the working conditions and social status of the workers in the diamond supply chain.

2. To promote ethics and fairness in the diamond industry

I decided to make a donation of $500, and this was made to help the work of Diamonds For Peace and their work.
This money will go towards their important work:

Provide support to improve the working conditions and social status of artisanal diamond workers in developing countries, especially in Africa

W.E. Clark & Son- Gold Members, in support of Diamonds for Peace.

 

As a business we adhere to the Kimberley Process. This is a rigorous and strict scheme which was devised to reduce the flow of diamonds which can be used for less virtuous purposes. We only purchase from suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process.

Tree Planting in Uganda

I was approached by one of my customers to become involved in this very exciting, and innovative project. The objective is simple, to plant trees in order to offset our carbon footprint, meaning W.E. Clark & Son become carbon neutral.

The Mvule tree is the Swahili name for the famous tropical hardwood Iroko, (scientific name Milicia excelsa). We plant Mvule for two key reasons: it is considered by scientists to be an exceptional tree for carbon capture and carbon sequestration, possibly uniquely so in the world.

W.E. Clark & Son are proud to be able to sponsor the planting of 21 hardwood trees annually in Uganda. To date 159,772 trees have been planted in Uganda under this scheme.
