Tiffany & Co. Releases Latest Sustainability Report

Tiffany & Co. today released its fifth annual Sustainability Report, now available online at Tiffany.com/sustainability, which outlines Tiffany’s sustainability initiatives and ongoing commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

“At Tiffany, we believe that sustainability is a critical element of our business strategy, and that sustainable principles should be practiced in every part of our company,” said Frédéric Cumenal, Tiffany & Co. CEO. In his first month as CEO, Cumenal appointed the company’s first Chief Sustainability Officer, Anisa Kamadoli Costa. The CSO will set the strategic sustainability agenda to ensure continuous improvement of social and environmental performance and further align with business objectives.

The 2014 Sustainability Report provides an overview of the company’s efforts around Tiffany’s most important environmental and social challenges, with a focus on responsible mining and sourcing of raw materials, ranging from diamonds and gold to packaging. Whether it’s protecting pristine landscapes like Yellowstone National Park and Bristol Bay from the damaging effects of mining, or voicing support for those protecting human rights in Angola and Zimbabwe, Tiffany & Co. believes that it must use the power of its brand and voice to encourage responsible and ethical behavior.

The following highlights specific areas of the report, which align with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and United Nations Global Compact reporting frameworks.

Responsible Mining: In 2014, significant progress was made toward the development of a globally recognized standard for responsible mining. As a founding member of the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), Tiffany has collaborated with representatives from industry, NGOs, impacted communities, labor organizations and others to develop true third-party, multistakeholder standards for responsible mining. In 2015, after years of important dialogue, debate and productive compromise, IRMA plans to pilot the draft standard and release a revised draft before a final standard is adopted.

Unique within the jewelry industry, Tiffany has taken an innovative approach to sourcing by forming direct relationships with many of the mines that supply diamonds and precious metals. In 2014, Tiffany received 100% of its rough diamonds either directly from a known mine or a supplier with multiple known mines. A vast majority of the Company’s rough diamonds are cut and polished at Laurelton Diamonds facilities around the world to maintain the highest quality standards. Paper and Packaging: To ensure that the paper for Tiffany Blue Boxes and bags is responsibly sourced, 100% of paper suppliers for boxes and bags in 2014 were FSC® certified. FSC® certification assures that wood and paper products come from renewable and well-managed resources. In 2014, the Tiffany Blue Box® was made with more than 89% recycled content, and the Tiffany Blue bag was made with 50% recycled content.

Building Footprint: Tiffany committed to reducing total global GHG emissions by 15% from 2013 to 2020. To this end, the Company continued a global initiative to replace energy-intensive lights in retail displays with efficient LED lights and expanded it to include LED overhead lighting. By the end of 2014, over 30 retail locations were retrofitted with LED overhead lighting, with an additional 35-40 locations planned in 2015.

Our Employees: Tiffany recently introduced the Tiffany Academy for Excellence and Diversity in Leadership, a talent pipeline and rotational development program to attract, retain and advance diverse, high-potential talent. The Tiffany Academy’s current focus is on key departments in the United States, with the potential to expand. This is part of an important initiative to reframe Tiffany’s diversity and inclusion strategy. Diversity is a long held core value and the Company is excited about the potential opportunities that can be capitalized on from a talent and business perspective.

Charitable Giving: Charitable giving is an important part of the Company’s culture. Tiffany has a history of supporting cultural institutions in the company’s home base, New York City. For example, this year Tiffany entered into a long-term partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art to support the Whitney’s 2017, 2019 and 2021 Biennials. Further, The Tiffany & Co. Foundation continues to play a key role in the Company’s sustainability efforts, supporting leading organizations working in areas like responsible mining and coral conservation.

Tiffany’s Fall 2015 Advertising Campaign for New Diamond Collection Highlights Real Families and Celebrates the Human Connection Between Loved Ones

Tiffany & Co. launches its fall 2015 ad campaign with three newly designed jewelry collections—Tiffany Victoria™, Tiffany Bow and Tiffany Infinity—sparkling with diamonds in images that express not just personal style, but also cherished connections between friends and loved ones.

“Tiffany jewelry has long symbolized relationships that bring happiness and meaning to life,” said Caroline Naggiar, Tiffany’s chief marketing officer. “It’s part of our great legacy, and we are proud to feature real life families in this campaign, adding a genuine emotional component to the designs’ style and beauty.”

The jewelry brilliantly accents acclaimed photographer Mario Sorrenti’s black-and-white photographs, which include sisters Dree and Langley Fox Hemingway, who share a lifetime of memories; models Crista Cober and Imaan Hammam, as relaxed as longtime friends; and model Doutzen Kroes with her son Phyllon, appearing together for the first time in an ad campaign.

Stylist Tabitha Simmons chose graceful, feminine fashion, layering the jewelry in various ways to show diversity of feeling and the evolution of these three collections. Design director Francesca Amfitheatrof added round and pear-shaped diamonds to give Tiffany Victoria™ the delicacy of petals. Her Tiffany Bow recalls the slender thread one might tie around a finger to remember something—or someone. Tiffany Infinity, inspired by the continuous energy and vitality of an ancient symbol, is contoured in a contemporary way. These collections can be seamlessly incorporated into everyday personal style, day or night, to create a spectacular diamond look.

The campaign was created with Tiffany’s ad agency, Ogilvy & Mather in New York. The campaign will appear in print, in the Autumn / Winter 2015 “This is Tiffany – 2nd edition” magazine, as well as across digital properties under the hashtags #TiffanyVictoria, #TiffanyBow and #TiffanyInfinity.

Sorrenti, renowned for high fashion editorial spreads and legendary campaigns, also directed a black-and-white film of the campaign that captures the joys of being together.

Tiffany & Co. Celebrates the Opening of Immersive Installation ‘Fifth & 57th’ with Glamorous New York Soiree

Transporting guests from London to Manhattan, Tiffany & Co. celebrated the opening of an immersive installation titled ‘Fifth & 57th’ with a glamorous New York Street party attended by London’s most stylish.

The evening celebrated both the launch of the installation and the new Tiffany & Co. store in Selfridges. The approximately 300 guests included Poppy Delevingne, Caroline Issa, Olivia Inge, Zara Martin, Graham Norton, Tess Ward, Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, Sarah Ann Macklin and Hilary and Galen Weston. Guests were welcomed to a cocktail reception on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, where projected images of New York City and intricate soundscaping created the illusion of being in the Big Apple. A recreation of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store, a New York Minute screening room and a stunning Central Park scene added to the electric atmosphere. A perpetually setting sun at the end of 57th Street that transformed into a dazzling Tiffany diamond created a glistening hue over the celebrations.

When taking a stroll down Fifth Avenue, guests found themselves in Charlie’s, a speakeasy bar named for founder Charles Lewis Tiffany. They sipped on cocktails inspired by the installation while listening to smokey jazz, blues and other shades of cool from Jazz singer Lana Shelley.

Outside of the bar, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, partygoers peered into the past through recreations of window displays by the legendary Gene Moore, who for almost 40 years designed Tiffany & Co. windows.

‘Fifth & 57th’ will be open to the public from Friday 3rd July until Sunday 12th July (closed on Monday and Tuesday). For opening hours and more information visit tiffany.co.uk/fifth&57th

Tiffany Presents Three Iconic Collections for Fall

Design director Francesca Amfitheatrof anticipates a brilliant fall with new interpretations of Tiffany Victoria™, Tiffany Bow and Tiffany Infinity. In reimagining these signature collections, she brings out the strengths of each, sculpting them in metals of harmonious colors highlighted with diamonds, creating jewelry that is as beautiful worn delicately alone or in dazzling multiples.

“This is jewelry that can be worn day and night,” Amfitheatrof says. “The designs are fluid and elegant, working together or on their own to create a spectacular diamond look.”

Introduced in 1998, Tiffany Victoria™, a graphic floral pattern of marquise diamonds, is inspired by a diamond corsage ornament that was a centerpiece of Tiffany’s exhibit at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair. The new collection evolves with round and pear-shaped diamonds. Matched for color and clarity, the diamonds are set in platinum pendants, bracelets and earrings that radiate with the light and energy of the brightest stars in the sky.

Tiffany Bow recalls the slender thread one might tie around a finger to remember something—or someone—with whom one shares a close bond. Eighteen karat rose and white gold form asymmetrical loops and off-center knots on slender chokers, curvaceous cuffs traced with diamonds and delicate, sparkling rings.

Tiffany Infinity symbolizes the continuous connection, energy and vitality of an ancient symbol. Amfitheatrof goes minimal with this balanced form, refining its contours in cuffs and rings of sterling silver, as well as 18 karat gold and diamonds with fluid modern style.

These Tiffany collections are available at Tiffany & Co. stores worldwide. For more information, please visit Tiffany.com.
