2014

Gem Diamonds promotes a culture of zero harm and responsible care. Our workforce is our most valued asset, and their health and safety is our priority.

2013

The Group is reliant on non-renewable resources to conduct its business. The efficient use of these resources is of utmost concern and directly contributes to the resilience of the organisation, helping it adapt to an environment that is increasingly resource constrained.

2012

To Gem Diamonds, product integrity signifies that we have met our responsibilities as an ethical and accountable organisation. To achieve this, we have developed a strong culture of corporate integrity and robust governance.

2011

We adopt a precautionary management approach when considering potential environmental impacts. The minimisation, mitigation and management of these impacts are key components of the Group’s duty of care – a responsibility we take seriously.

2010

Our human resource strategy is to engage, develop and retain high-calibre employees. This is a key element in achieving operational excellence.

2009

Our mines are based within existing socio-economic environments. We benefit from mining diamonds during the life of these operations. In turn, we regard it as our moral obligation to contribute to the sustainable socioeconomic growth of the areas in which we operate.
