ALROSA has announced that it allocates between RUB15 billion and RUB20 billion annually — approximately $190 million to $255 million — towards environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives as part of its long-term sustainability strategy.

According to the company, the investments represent around 5–8% of annual revenue and are primarily directed towards regional development, environmental protection and workforce programmes in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where the miner operates its core diamond assets.

Tatyana Goncharenko, Deputy Head of International Cooperation at ALROSA, said the company continues to prioritize sustainable development despite geopolitical and market challenges. The miner stated that over the past decade it contributed more than RUB600 billion in taxes and non-tax payments to Yakutia’s consolidated regional budget.

ALROSA also highlighted employment and community initiatives under its “Working Yakutia. Personnel” programme, through which more than 5,000 local residents secured employment in 2025.

On the environmental front, the company said it became the first mining company to verify the carbon neutrality of its diamond production through its own CO₂ absorption processes. ALROSA reported a negative carbon footprint of minus 0.71 kg CO₂-equivalent per carat, with operational carbon utilization exceeding one million tonnes annually.

The miner, which accounts for a significant share of global rough diamond production, has increasingly positioned ESG and traceability as central components of its long-term natural diamond strategy.
