Responsible Sourcing

In Sept., 2011, Casa del Jade has started a complete remodeling of its sales facilities, and all lighting is being changed to LED lighting to save energy.  After completing the remodeling, Casa del Jade will be building new administrative offices and factory facilities in which all the latest energy saving technologies will be used to minimize our “carbon footprint”.

A good part of our packing material is being produced by native Guatemalan women from used huipiles(Indian womens   blouses).  We are giving part time work to 5 women in Chichicastenango.  We are in the process of redesigning all our packing material so that it will be produced by native Guatemalan women.  This process should be completed by the end of 2011.
