Corporate Social Responsibility

“We believe in doing business differently. It is our aspiration that everything we do, every action we take, is based on care and love. The well-being of our people as well as our social and environmental impact means everything to us. After all, the more you give, the more you receive.”

- Damien Dernoncourt, CEO

Charity Charm Bracelet

In celebration of Earth Day in 2011, John Hardy introduced their new recycled silver and cotton cord charity bracelet, featuring a sterling silver ring of the bamboo motif. Two hundred of the bracelets were donated to Christie’s Bid to Save the Earth Event on March 29, and the bracelet also retails for $65 on the John Hardy website. All proceeds will benefit the National Resources Defense Council.

Jobs for Life

CEO Damien Dernoncourt and Creative Director Guy Bedarida were so grateful for the amazing opportunity to create a jewelry brand when they bought the company in 2007 that they thought of giving back. Jobs for Life supports disadvantaged Balinese orphans when they bought the company in 2007. The program aims to ease the transition from orphanage to the real world by providing vocational training, teaching them practical skills that can be marketed as they look for work. After graduating from school, John Hardy aims to offer the students employment opportunities at the compound in Bali.
