The upcoming webinar on net zero is the second in a collaborative series between Hanna and IAC called “Boldly Building the Future.”
The series focuses on the climate crisis and the actions companies in the jewelry industry are taking to lessen their impact on the environment, actions many believe are no longer optional.
“Informed practices, goals and measurements for climate management are now mandatory for our industry and our future consumers,” Hanna said in a press release.
The first talk in the series, “Decade of Action: Climate and the Precious Metals Industry,” was held in December and can be viewed on Facebook.
