Surat, India—Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK) has announced its membership in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), an initiative encouraging companies worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices.
By joining the UNGC, SRK underscores its commitment to the highest standards of social responsibility within the diamond and jewelry industry. The membership aligns SRK with the UNGC’s principles, which emphasize human rights, environmental stewardship, labor standards, and anti-corruption measures.
SRK’s participation in the UNGC will provide access to resources and training opportunities to enhance the company’s expertise in sustainability. Members are required to regularly report their progress to ensure transparency and accountability.
“SRK is deeply committed to integrating sustainability into our core business strategy and to not only set an example for the rest of the industry, but to bring others along with us,” said Nirav Mandir, chief human capital and sustainability officer at SRK. “We are eager to collaborate with global corporations to share best practices and foster sustainable business models that benefit all stakeholders. Engaging with the UNGC and its partners will equip us with valuable tools and insights to further embed sustainability into our operations.”
SRK has recently achieved another milestone by accelerating its emissions reduction targets to achieve net zero emissions at its flagship facilities, SRK House and SRK Empire. Originally aiming to reach net zero emissions by 2030, SRK attained the Global Network for Zero’s net zero certification for existing buildings this past May.
The diamond supplier’s commitment to the UNGC and its accelerated sustainability initiatives highlight SRK’s leadership role in promoting sustainable and socially responsible practices within the diamond industry.
