Our approach to Environmental Sustainability

  • Our environmental sustainability vision:

    Striving to protect & enhance the environments we work in for future generations.

  • High quality pearls require pristine oceans with healthy, robust ecosystems. This means that at Atlas Pearls protecting the environment is not a promotional strategy, it’s a business imperative. 

    Part of our commitment to high environmental standards is to identify and report our impact on the environment. Through this process, we hope to identify areas where we can avoid or minimise any negative impacts by either changing our operational processes or implementing policies to better manage our impact on the environment.

  • Light Weight Boats

    ENERGY EFFICIENCIES - IMPACT PROJECT

    Fuel is a significant operational expense and a primary contributor to our GHG emissions. In our endeavour to reduce fuel use we are experimenting with light weight speed boats. We have measured the new hull designs use approximately 30-50% less fuel, consequently decreasing our emissions and leading to operational cost savings.
