The modern natural diamond industry has committed to a sustainable environment for a better tomorrow by undertaking accountable actions which will have a direct impact. Billion year old creations of nature, real diamonds tell an incredible story of rarity, uniqueness, and a commitment to being responsible champions of mother Earth. This Earth Day (April 22), leading diamond manufacturers and industry partners of Natural Diamond Council Rosy Blue, Shivam Jewels, Jewelex, Dianco and Diarough bring to light the effect of their conservation efforts. While their initiatives span community development, easy access to education and healthcare as well as animal welfare, contributing to economies and the society at large, on the occasion of World Earth Day, we celebrate a few key environmental endeavours from these industry stalwarts:
Rosy Blue has developed a powerful strategy called ‘Rosy Blue Going Green' which focuses on energy management and cutting on their overall carbon footprint and they are working to reduce their GHG emissions in line with the 1.5°C pathway by 2030. Shivam Jewels reduces CO2 emissions by 1,100 tonnes annually, equivalent to saving 12,876 trees, demonstrating a strong commitment to natural resource conservation.
Jewelex’sjewellery units have been carbon neutral since 2021 and they aim to extend this to their global group by 2024/25, aligning with their overarching sustainability objectives.
Jewelex has been partially using green energy generated from its own windmills as well as rooftop solar panels and since January 2023, have been operating on 100 per cent renewable energy.
Dianco is calculating carbon emissions for two sales offices and a factory to reduce its footprint and become climate-positive, while also exploring technologies to help lower emissions for both the company and the consumers.
Diarough has a three-year commitment to uplifting 150 villages in Banaskantha region by restoring natural water resources, increasing the water table and assisting local farmers with the collection of 158 million litres of rainwater.
Through proactive initiatives like these, the natural diamond industry is leading the charge towards a more sustainable and responsible future that benefits both, the people and the planet.
