SE08 EP09: Unmasking the Power of Blockchain in Ethical Supply Chains with Helen Gibb, Director of Product Ernest Jones & Leanne Kemp, Founder and CEO of Everledger

Sustainably Influenced

In today's penultimate episode of the season, we are uncovering the role of blockchain in creating transparent and traceable supply chains. Over the course of this season we have looked into real-world examples where blockchain is empowering consumers and businesses to make ethical choices. Today, we explore how blockchain-enabled solutions are revolutionising the way we source, authenticate, and trade gemstones, especially diamonds.

We are joined by two special guests. Helen Gibb is the Director of Product Ernest Jones and Leanne Kemp is Founder and CEO of Everledger. In her role as CEO, she inspires and steers the team of Everlegder's to increase transparency and trust with technology, in close collaboration with our industry partners.

**This season is sponsored by Ernest Jones**

Ernest Jones, Britain's favourite high-street jeweller, is launching an exclusive new collection called "Origin by Ernest Jones”. This dazzling collection features 28 diamond rings, from classic solitaires to contemporary halo designs. But what sets it apart is the transparency it offers. Every diamond in the collection is fully traceable, responsibly sourced, and handcrafted in recycled platinum or gold.

Ernest Jones is a proud member of the World Diamond Council and the Responsible Jewelry Council. They've partnered with trusted suppliers to ensure their diamonds are conflict-free, responsibly sourced, and come from ethical mines that prioritise the well-being of miners and the environment.

And guess what? Ernest Jones is the first UK retailer to bring this fully traceable, blockchain-powered collection to their high-street stores. So, join us in leading the way to a more sustainable future with Origin by Ernest Jones. Let's make a difference, one diamond at a time! Shop the collection now
