Over the years the Rosy Blue Group has developed into a major international diamond business and worked with many individuals, communities and countries along the way.
We have a long track record and an enduring tradition of respect, contribution and care in the countries where we operate.

Thank you for your interest in our organization and, particularly, our socially responsible practices. Corporate social responsibility has always been part of the culture of the Rosy Blue Group. In fact, our company’s core values were a key factor in my joining this global family business in 2002.

What is new is the way we have organized our business, social and environmental initiatives around the concept of an internal CSR model as part of the business strategy and how we have implemented initiatives such as Best Practice Principles and UN Global Compact around the world in a structured manner.

We have initiated the first pilot projects of the Responsible Jewellery Council standards and will have a third party audit at the end of this year.

My great appreciation goes to the Group Associates, the Group Executive Management, the CSR Advisory Board, the personal advisor of the CEO, the Global Corporate Compliance Team and all our employees who are implementing our internal CSR model from the ground up and remain equally dedicated to and involved in our CSR journey. A special word of thanks to Francis Lappen, Keshav Tahilramani, Palitha Jayasekera and Francis Abraham for their continuous guidance and encouragement to integrate our CSR model throughout the Group.

It is no coincidence that we publish our first CSR report this year - even though we are in a time of major change within our industry and facing enormous pressure to control costs. We believe the timing is right to communicate how we are evolving and engaging ourselves in sustainable practices. Greater transparency and accountability, open dialogues with all our stakeholders is essential for our business and industry.

This is the start of our CSR process, it will take time, but it also brings opportunities for change and dynamics.
It is our hope that this report will help to provide a clearer understanding of the Rosy Blue Group’s CSR initiatives. We welcome and greatly appreciate any comments or opinions you may have at csr@rosyblue.com.
Sincerely,

Iris Van der Veken
Manager Corporate Affairs Global
