Ask Me Any Question: with Allison Charalambous, VP of Responsible Sourcing and Sustainability at Brilliant Earth.
For our October Session, Allison Charalambous from Brilliant Earth will share her recent trip to Madre de Dios, Peru where she visited the first 4 mines in the Amazon to become Fairmined Certified. Despite the well-publicized and studied obstacles in Madre de Dios, unfortunately, made famous for deforestation caused by mining and mercury use, Abel 3, Fátima, El Príncipe Azul 1, and Linda 2 of AMATAF achieved their Fairmined certification in 2023 with the help of a grant from Brilliant Earth to Pure Earth.
Bringing her deep experience in mine-to-market programs, Cristina Villegas, Director of Sustainable Jewelry at Pact, will host a Q&A about Madre de Dios, AMATAF, the Fairmined Certification, Brilliant Earth’s grant to Pure Earth, and the Brilliant Earth Fairmined collection.
