SUSTAINABLY DRIVEN
MONICA KOSANN RICH
In 2020, the company received Certified B Corporation status from the B Lab ® , A global non-profit organization that recognizes businesses based on high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and performance. For a global jewelry brand like Monica Rich Kosann, this means building a vast network of suppliers that hold similar company values and growth mindsets. “It started on the sourcing front with trying to have really high standards in terms of how we choose our partners, how we conduct ourselves on a level of quality, and how we create products for the customer that we want to endure for generations,” says Rod. Fredric H. Rubel is excitedly adding more of these legacy pieces to its showcase, giving you an even better selection of timeless and empowering adornments from Monica Rich Kosann. S ince the beginning, ethical and sustainable jewelry-making has been at the heart of Monica Rich Kosann. Here, jewelry craftsmanship starts with three simple questions: Is the style contemporary and timeless? Does it empower and inspire? Will it mean as much in twenty years as it does today?
“WE VIEW THE WHOLE PROCESS AS ONE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.. IT’S JUST REALLY ABOUT BEING BETTER TOMORROW THAN WE ARE TODAY.” –Rod Kosann, CEO of Monica Rich Kosann
