Diamond Empowerment Fund launches Diamonds for Good Membership programme

A global annual membership programme is launched by the Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF) which will highlight companies in the diamond and jewelry industry who support DEF’s mission of youth education empowerment and leadership development in diamond producing countries. The importance of companies expressing their corporate social responsibility is gaining importance amongst consumers these days and as per PR giant Edelman’s latest research study, 80 percent of global consumers believe it is important for companies to make them aware of their corporate social responsibility efforts. Consumers connect with DEF’s positive message.

A key element to the Diamonds for Good Membership Program is a seal created for members to use across all lines of communication. The seal is designed with a green diamond in the center of a circle created with diamonds and the words ‘Diamond Empowerment Fund, Diamonds for Good Member’. A higher level of support, the Empowerment Circle, includes this same seal, and an added ring of diamonds with the words Empowerment Circle in the center. Inaugural members of the Empowerment Circle include the Dalumi Group, Malca-Amit, Sterling Jewelers, and Leo Schachter Diamonds.

Phyllis Bergman, CEO of Mercury Ring and DEF Board President, believes that DEF’s Membership Program “will enable industry members to show their customers the importance they place on an initiative that gives back to the communities where their diamonds are sourced. Developing the next generation of leaders through education in diamond producing countries speaks to this commitment."
