De Beers Announces<br />
Ambitious 2030 Goals<br />
to Build a Positive<br />
Lasting Impact for<br />
Communities and the<br />
Natural <strong>World</strong><br />
in <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong>, De Beers<br />
announced 12 ambitious<br />
sustainability goals for<br />
the coming decade, including<br />
achieving gender parity throughout<br />
its workforce, supporting 10,000<br />
women entrepreneurs in its diamond<br />
producing partner countries and<br />
being carbon neutral within its own<br />
operations by 2030.<br />
The 12 goals are part of De Beers’<br />
Building Forever framework – a<br />
sustainability approach embedded<br />
in the business’s commercial<br />
strategy and focused on maximising<br />
the positive impact of diamonds<br />
on their journey from discovery<br />
to retail. The goals are based<br />
around four pillars: leading ethical<br />
practices across industry; partnering<br />
for thriving communities; protecting<br />
the natural world; and accelerating<br />
equal opportunity.<br />
ALROSA Hong<br />
Kong Limited<br />
became a member<br />
of the Shanghai <strong>Diamond</strong><br />
Exchange (SDE) and<br />
received more trading<br />
opportunities in mainland<br />
China. This membership<br />
provides a great advantage<br />
for direct trade in rough<br />
and polished diamonds in<br />
mainland China, as well as<br />
strengthens ties between<br />
ALROSA and SDE as part of<br />
the bilateral industry cooperation. “In <strong>2020</strong>, demand for diamond<br />
jewelry in China increased. It is very important for ALROSA to<br />
have business here,” commented Evgeny Agureev, Deputy CEO<br />
of ALROSA. ALROSA has been present in China since 2005,<br />
while the first long-term agreement with Chinese jewelry retailer<br />
was signed in 2010.<br />
