Our Approach to Reporting

Gem Diamonds is a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index Series
We transparently and succinctly report on our material sustainability matters, guided by the Global Reporting Initiative
Standards. In 2021 we implemented the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in
our reporting for the first time. We adhere to the International Finance Corporation (IFC) Environmental, Health and Safety
Guidelines, the Equator Principles and applicable standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Scope and boundary
Our Sustainability Report covers operations managed by the Group in 2022. The positive and negative impacts of all material matters are presented in themes outlined in the material matters section. Each material matter could change our existing environmental, economic and social context.
Data
Data in this report is based on our continuous monitoring of selected performance criteria, using the TCFD recommendations,
Global Reporting Initiative Standards, IFC Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines and Equator Principles, as appropriate.
Data is reported to the Group at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals, showing comparatives for three years.
Although the data in this report is not independently verified, it has been endorsed by our annual internal quality control processes as well as external safety, health, legal and environmental system audits.
