Corporate Responsibility

IceCarats is committed to going beyond industry standards in our efforts to support human rights, environmental stewardship, and ethical business practices. To meaningfully ensure compliance with its high standards of ethics, integrity, and respect, IceCarats takes the following approach:

We are committed to ensuring our products are sourced responsibly, with suppliers adhering to environmental, social, human rights, and conflict minerals laws.

We condemn using metals to fund conflict and require suppliers to respect workers' rights and labor standards and not source gold from armed or militarized conflict areas.

We also require suppliers to support the development of an independent, third-party verification system.

Since the Kimberly Process passed in 2003, about 99% of the diamonds are conflict-free.

However, IceCarats.com goes above and beyond that: We only buy from suppliers that guarantee their diamonds and gemstones are conflict-free. We believe in being 100% conflict-free (blood diamond free).

Our Conflict Diamonds Policy ensures that our products do not include Conflict Diamonds. We assure our customers that we are barring conflict diamonds from our inventory and only selling diamonds from legitimate sources.

Team Members are vital to IceCarats' ability to achieve its objectives and mission. Therefore, teamwork, integrity, communication, and fair treatment all play an essential part in how the Company operates.

IceCarats considers its relationship with its Team Members excellent, valuing honest, open, and constructive two-way communication. We achieve this through regional management meetings, staff opinion surveys, feedback reports, and staff meetings.

These procedures facilitate consultation during which Team Members' views can be expressed and considered in decisions likely to affect their interests.

IceCarats believes it is best to support a few specific charities rather than fragment its charitable giving. We commit to dedicating funds to organizations focused on international development, education, and the advancement of human rights. We are proud to support these organizations' work and ensure we positively impact the world.

At IceCarats, we believe that corporate responsibility is about more than just giving back — it’s about investing in the future of our community and its people. We are committed to making a difference in our local communities and beyond.
