Our approach to reporting
Our Sustainability Report concisely outlines our performance on our sustainability journey. We encourage our stakeholders to read this report with the Group's Annual Report and Accounts 2021 and Our Approach to Climate Change report.
We transparently and succinctly report on our material matters, guided by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. This year we implemented the recommendations of the Task force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in our annual report. We also adhere to the International Finance Corporation Environmental, Health and Safety (IFC EHS) Guidelines and the Equator Principles as well as applicable standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Our Sustainability Report covers operations managed by the Group in 2021. The positive and negative impacts of all material matters are presented in themes outlined in the material matters section. Each material matter could change our existing environmental, economic and social systems.

We are committed to minimising the impact our operations have on the natural environment by mitigating potential environmental impacts, responsibly managing natural resources and rehabilitating the environment at mine closure.
Social
The Group’s purpose “Unearthing unique possibilities”, is directly underpinned by three key priorities; extracting maximum value from operations, preparing for our future and working responsibly and maintaining our social licence to operate.
Our social licence to operate depends on regular engagement with government and local communities, as well as financial and practical support, to address challenges with mutually beneficial and sustainable solutions. As responsible operators and social partners in our host countries, we endeavour to maintain healthy and constructive relationships with governments and our PACs.
As mining life is finite, we need to establish CSI projects that continue to create value in our absence.

Employees
Our primary objective is safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, their families and surrounding communities – everyone should work and live in a safe environment every day.
We promote equality, diversity and professional development for employees at every business level with attention to their physical and psychological well-being.

We understand that the value of our exquisite diamonds is determined by the way we mine. We therefore produce and distribute rough and polished diamonds according to the highest ethical and legal standards.
