Overview

Responding to the Climate Crisis

Our commitment to help tackle the climate crisis goes beyond targets. Through investment, innovation and collaboration, we’re taking action to minimise our footprint and support pioneering efforts to help address the global climate crisis. We are involved in every stage of the diamond value chain and recognise the impact we can have. We understand the need for tangible action to help tackle these challenges. 

Science Based Targets

We are working towards a 42% reduction in our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions, and a 25% reduction in our Scope 3 emissions by 2030, validated through the Science Based Targets initiative.

Scope 1 emissions relate to our direct emissions, such as those produced by our mining equipment. We aim to increase efficiencies, electrify our vehicles and explore alternative fuels, including hydrogen and biofuels.

Scope 2 emissions relate to the electricity we use. Electricity in southern Africa is mostly coal generated, so our focus is supporting partnerships to develop infrastructure for reliable and renewable solutions such as solar and wind.

Scope 3 emissions relate to emission generated from within our value chain. Although these are outside our direct control, we work closely with customers and suppliers to try and influence reduction strategies.
