HOLDEN Rings

Sustainability Story

Our sustainability story starts with our product. Since day one, we've crafted our rings locally in NYC using recycled precious metals and ethical, lab-grown diamonds. We make each ring to order, meaning no wasteful excess inventory, and we offer a lifetime guarantee on every ring. Over the past four years, we've worked towards reducing our environmental impact in many facets of our business, from switching to 100% SCS-certified recycled gold to making sure all of our packaging is curbside recyclable. We're proud of the progress we've made, but we know there's more we can accomplish. We're excited to partner with Climate Neutral to both offset our carbon footprint and to help us work toward our broader sustainability goals.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

1,509 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

1,512 tCO2e

02 Offset
