The Great Debate 2013 – Come And Have Your Say AT IJL

Now in its 7th year The Great Debate has moved on another stride this year and includes the issues of sustainability as well as continuing to explore ethical and social questions for the jewellery industry.

The Great Debate 2013 looks outside the jewellery industry to learn how the fashion and grocery industries have faced up to the challenges of delivering an ethical and sustainable supply chain.

Daniela Nordmeyer from Monsoon Accessorize, and Alan Frampton, former supplier of fresh produce from Africa to major UK supermarkets and now Director of Cred Jewellery will share their knowledge, inspiration, and enthusiasm.

Michael Allchin, Chief Executive of The Birmingham Assay Office, will invite the audience to draw parallels with the jewellery industry and consider what more needs to be done.

The Great Debate will be held at the International Jewellery London Show on Monday 2nd September starting at 12 noon.

The debate is a joint initiative between The Birmingham Assay Office and Reed Exhibitions. The event focuses on ethical, social, humanitarian, and environmental issues in the jewellery industry. It aims to share experiences, to inform, to stimulate debate, provoke thought, and to prompt action.

The Debate has already identified that there is more than one way to respond to the challenges and this year it focuses on sustainability.
