EcoAge and The Diamonds of Botswana
With Livia Firth, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age
We were proud to host Livia Firth at our operations in Botswana, to show her the work we do to ensure our diamonds have a positive impact. Following her visit, Eco-Age launched a documentary called The Diamonds of Botswana, which captured Livia as she learnt first-hand about diamond mining and its effects on Botswana. In this film she says:
“In Botswana I’ve seen a picture of what can happen when businesses operate in partnership with government and civil society, and long-term investments are made in collaboration with local communities to ensure that the benefits are truly shared with those on the ground. I came here to look at a single supply chain. I came away from Botswana wondering if this country represents something even bigger – a new vision for doing business and if so, it is certainly something that needs to be protected with integrity and vigilance.”
