Surat-based diamond manufacturing company Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (SRK) has joined the World Diamond Council (WDC), which represents businesses and organisations engaged in the global diamond value chain.
SRK said it recognises the crucial role played by the WDC in promoting ethical standards within the diamond trade. The company pledged its dedication to upholding the highest standards across its operations, from responsible sourcing to sustainable natural diamond crafting practices.
The company noted that membership in the WDC provides it with a platform to engage with like-minded industry leaders, share best practices, and contribute to the establishment of industry-wide guidelines for ethical and sustainable diamond crafting and trade.
Shri Shreyans Dholakia, Entrepreneur-Brand Custodian of SRK, said, “As a WDC member, SRK looks forward to actively participating in discussions and initiatives aimed at addressing industry challenges in the cohesive manner. Our extensive experience in the given area, positions us to make meaningful contributions to the WDC's efforts to create a more transparent and ethical natural diamond industry.”
The WDC's diverse membership, spanning the entire diamond value chain, makes it a powerful and inclusive organization. With members ranging from producers and traders to jewellery manufacturers, banks, and logistics specialists, the WDC is uniquely positioned to tackle the most complex challenges facing the diamond industry.
In addition to its commitment to ethical practices, SRK is taking steps toward environmental sustainability. The company has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions at two of its diamond crafting facilities, SRK Empire and SRK House, by 2024—forty-six years ahead of India's 2070 goals. SRK Empire and SRK House have also been recognized for achieving not only LEED: Platinum certification but also managed to sustain the place among “World’s Top 6 Green Buildings” since more than three years continuously.
Shree Ramkrishna Exports said it looks forward to contributing actively to the WDC's initiatives and setting new benchmarks for ethical and sustainable practices in the diamond industry.
