Leta is committed to completely zeroing its carbon footprint by 2028. This will be achieved by eliminating paper, reducing energy consumption in manufacturing and stores, using electric transport for delivery, and participating in sustainable forest management programs in Russia.
Every action and decision we take in Leta is always challenged with the very important question: “How would this affect the environment?” You already know that we only use mineral resources that were mined in a responsible way. You also know that our packaging is made from recycled material and is also completely soil-safe. And, of course, you know about our long-term support of the project to preserve the population of Baltic ringed seals in the Gulf of Finland.
Now is the time to go even further. Leta announces a public commitment to analyze and eliminate the carbon footprint generated by our partners in the industry of mining, processing and transportation of resources, as well as activities related to retail and last mile delivery. This will be achieved with a three-pronged strategy: saving energy and other resources, introducing environmental audits for every partner, as well as compensatory actions – in particular, financing sustainable forest management programs and planting new trees on our own.
In 2021, we completed the transfer of all our partners to electronic document management, drastically reducing the use of paper. The process of jewelry designing is now also carried out only on electronic devices. Leta office has been operating in an energy efficient mode since 2019 by using LED lighting, smart electricity timers and smart water meters. Now we begin to implement this together with our partners in retail and production. In locations where Leta processes the largest number of online orders, we plan to organize our own delivery with the use of an electric transport. And for the rest of the cities, we aim to cooperate with a delivery company that has implemented its own zero-carbon footprint policy.
According to our calculations, we will be able to achieve carbon neutrality by 2028. At Leta we’re convinced that the ecological agenda is not a trend, but a way of being. The success of our business goes hand-in-hand with the long-term resilience of our planet and its unique natural resources, whether they are natural resources from which we create jewelry, or simply water and air necessary for each person’s life. Being a responsible company committed to people and the planet is our public position and we encourage both our clients and other jewelry companies to join us in creating meaningful change.

Currently there are no more than two hundred Baltic ringed seals in the Gulf of Finland, and forty years ago the region was inhabited by several thousand species. The subspecies are on the brink of extinction, and if we don’t take urgent measures, these rare sea mammals will disappear from the Gulf of Finland. Our charity project along with the Friends of the Baltic Seal is a great chance to tell about the existing problem and possible ways to solve it.
Our reimagined Gift Card is the result of collaboration with talented artists from around the world. On the front side of the card you will find some regular information about the value of the card and an activation code, whereas the back side has a work of art, created by an artist especially for this card issue. What makes this card valuable is that each issue is limited of only 100, so it’s definitely worth saving even after spending.
Today we launch “Saving the Planet” section on our site. There we have tried to express our opinion on the environmental problems that humanity has faced and about the way in which we do not shy away from them.
Since the beginning of our story, we have been thinking about the necessity of having an ajustable chain lock on our necklaces and pendants. In the case of a pendant on a chain, it is a matter of aesthetics as to how you want to wear your favourite piece – tighter to your neck or closer to the decolatte. It is different and more critical in the case of a necklace as it could turn out to be too big or, the opposite, be so small that you couldn`t easily fasten it.
