Separating Fact from fiction

Sustainability Rated Diamonds Guard Against Greenwashing

Savvy consumers have learned that claims of social and environmental responsibility can often sound good, but fall short.The SCS-007 Sustainability Rated Diamonds Standard was developed to enable you to separate fact from fiction.

PROTECTING DIAMOND WORKERS

Unprecedented testing accuracy, combined with checks and balances across the entire chain of custody, make it possible to shut the door on blood diamonds, slave labor, child labor and other abuses once and for all.

QUANTITATIVE MEASURES OF SUCCESS

The Standard provides much more than a checklist of “do’s” and “don’ts”. It also requires action toward zeroing out impacts across the board, starting with climate impacts.

THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATION

The Sustainability Rating is determined through an internationally recognized independent certification process, involving on-site audits, data and documentation review, interviews, physical examination of diamonds, and more. Diamond grading is just one part of this much larger auditing framework. Having a neutral third-party oversee this entire process is crucial.
