Our Materials & Sourcing

Responsible Sourcing of Materials – Mullingar Pewter

At Mullingar Pewter, we believe that quality craftsmanship begins with responsibly sourced materials. Our commitment to ethical business practices extends throughout our supply chain, ensuring that the pewter used in our handcrafted gift ware is sourced with care and integrity.

Our Sourcing Commitment

Mullingar Pewter is dedicated to ensuring the materials used in our products are obtained from responsible, conflict-free sources. We work closely with trusted suppliers who share our values of ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility.

Our pewter contains a blend of tin and other metals, sourced from reputable suppliers who confirm their materials are not connected to conflict zones, including regions linked to the financing of violence or human rights abuses.

Conflict-Free Materials

We are committed to complying with the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation (EU 2017/821) and other international standards promoting responsible mineral sourcing. Our goal is to ensure that:

• The tin and metals used in our pewter products are sourced from conflict-free smelters.

• Our suppliers conduct due diligence on their supply chains and provide transparency on sourcing practices.

• We support efforts that encourage smelters and refiners to undergo third-party assessments such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP).

Our Ongoing Responsibility

• We actively engage with our suppliers to promote responsible sourcing and environmental sustainability.

• We require confirmation from our supply chain that materials used are conflict-free.

• We are committed to continuous improvement and transparency regarding our sourcing practices.

At Mullingar Pewter, crafting timeless Irish gift ware also means doing so responsibly — ensuring our products reflect not just tradition and quality, but also respect for people and planet.
