BEST Practices
We are deeply committed to the highest standards of ethical and social responsibility through innovation and continuous improvement. Our foundation is based on 3 pillars: Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility and Provenance.
Sustainability
Sustainability is not just our commitment, it is integral to our identity. Our strategy aligns with the UN Global Compact, focusing on 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have developed a comprehensive sustainability framework that connects our economic growth with our social and environmental responsibility. By constantly evolving this framework, we aim to maximize our positive impact on the communities we serve while safeguarding our planet for future generations.
Our Key SDG Contributions:
We believe in creating a safe and healthy work environment for everyone involved in our supply chain. Our goal is to support the well-being of our employees and communities through strict health protocols, mental wellness programs, and access to healthcare services. We also ensure that our partners adhere to the highest safety and ethical standards throughout diamond cutting and mining processes.
As a woman led business, Primestar champions gender equality in an industry traditionally dominated by men. Priti Parikh’s leadership serves as an inspiration for women in the diamond trade. We are committed to empowering women across all levels of our business, promoting equal opportunities while fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment for women.
We strive to provide dignified and fair employment opportunities within Primestar and throughout our value chain. Our operations are rooted in ensuring decent wages, safe working conditions, and respect for human rights. We believe in creating sustainable economic growth by partnering with ethical miners, investing in employee development, and utilizing technologies that enhance efficiency and transparency in our diamond sourcing and sales.
Collaboration is key to driving lasting change. We work closely with industry stakeholders, local communities, and international organizations to advance sustainability within the diamond industry. By forging strong partnerships with industry groups and organizations, we contribute to collective efforts that uphold ethical practices, reduce environmental impacts, and promote fair trade. Together, we aim to build a more sustainable future for the entire diamond supply chain.
Our key memberships/partnerships include Watch & Jewellery Initiative, Women Empowerment Principles, Responsible Jewellery Council, iTraceiT, World Diamond Council, Antwerp Diamond Bourse and Antwerp World Diamond Centre
