Build a BRILLIANT Future
Our company has a rich history and a sparkling future – and we encourage our people to achieve their full potential.
At De Beers, we focus on more than just diamonds. We strive to make life brilliant for our people, our customers and the communities where we operate.
Our mission to create a world where every employee is safe, has equal opportunity and is equipped and empowered to make a difference. A world where innovation and opportunity are the status quo, where communities and our natural world are protected.
That’s why we invest in our people’s personal growth, training and wellbeing. It’s why we are committed to creating a lasting legacy through our efforts to protect the planet, empower local entrepreneurs and champion conservation efforts.
We thrive on the creativity, passion and knowledge of our people. Are you ready to join us?
We Celebrate Diversity
The diversity of our people is one of our biggest strengths. And we are committed to creating an equal, fair and inclusive environment where everyone can bring their authentic self to work.
Our workforce needs to reflect the societies we operate in, which is why we have introduced partnerships to promote the progression of women in the workplace, helping us become a proud voice for gender equality.

Our partnerships: UN Women
UN Women Partnership – HeForShe
Achieving an equal number of men and women in our workforce is essential to achieving thriving and resilient communities and societies. It’s also fundamental for De Beers’ future success – a diverse and inclusive business is more productive, more innovative and a safer one.
In March 2021, we renewed our partnership with UN Women for a further five years, joining the HeForShe Alliance – expanding our commitment to increasing the representation of women in technical and leadership roles across our business.

Our partnerships: Unstereotype Alliance
Unstereotype Alliance
As proud partners of UN Women and HeForShe Champions, we are members of the UN Women-convened Unstereotype Alliance. This industry-led initiative seeks to eradicate harmful stereotypes in media and advertising content. Together with other global brands, we strive to use advertising to drive positive change across the world. Ultimately, the Unstereotype Alliance seeks to empower people in all their diversity (race, class, age, ability, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, language, education and body size) to create a more equal world.

Our partnerships: MasterPeace Academy
MasterPeace Academy Collaboration
As part of our efforts to support emerging talent from all backgrounds into diamond jewellery, we’ve been working with the MasterPeace Academy to turn this ambition into reality.
Based in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter in the UK, the MasterPeace Academy is run by Norma Jean-Banton whose motto is, ‘make jewellery change lives’. Over the past three years we’ve supported the diverse and inclusive academy to run jewellery design and manufacturing courses for unemployed young people.
In 2024, students worked on a real six-month creative jewellery design brief from De Beers Jewellers (DBJ). The DBJ team also provided mentoring and feedback for each of the students over the course of the programme.

COLLEAGUE NETWORKS
Our Colleague Networks (or ERGs - Employee Resource Groups) are one of the ways our people help us demonstrate that brilliance has many facets. These passionate individuals play a crucial role in fostering a truly inclusive and diverse workplace environment.
The brilliance of our business, like our diamonds, is reliant on many unique facets working together. By embracing diverse perspectives, skills and backgrounds, we can build a more robust business where everyone feels valued and included.
EDI COUNCIL
At De Beers, we've committed to being a more equitable, inclusive and diverse organisation. Part of this means recognising our colleagues’ role in shaping and nurturing our organisation’s future.
Our EDI Council brings together colleagues from across the business to drive positive change in our working culture. It also supports De Beers in exploring issues such as social affairs and the future of work, generating recommendations for change.
Wecare colleague wellbeing support
We help our people develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to take their careers further – making a positive difference to their lives and communities.
