Tejen Named Fairmined Ambassador of Responsible Gold
On its tenth anniversary, Tejen is named a Fairmined Ambassador, a commitment to ethical gold, environmental sustainability, and the future of artisanal mining communities
In celebrating its first ten years, Tejen receives a recognition that goes beyond the aesthetic quality of its creations: the appointment as Fairmined Ambassador, a globally recognized certification for artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), which ensures that gold is responsibly sourced, meeting strict social and environmental standards.
The certification, promoted by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), represents an international movement supporting the development of mining communities and the protection of the environment. Certified mines receive a fair price for their gold, along with an additional premium invested in projects that improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
As stated by Mark Kroeker – founder and artistic director of Tejen – «this appointment reinforces our dedication to responsible traceability, to the protection, safety, and fair treatment of small artisanal mining communities, through our support of the Alliance for Responsible Mining, the Fairmined organization, and the belief that true luxury is defined not only by refinement, but by integrity and purpose.»
