De Beers Group has reported progress across its “Building Forever” sustainability framework, covering livelihoods, nature, climate action and diamond provenance in its 2025 Sustainability Report.
The company said it reduced Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 14% since 2021, while managing 375,000 acres of land for conservation across Southern Africa. Its Okavango Eternal partnership also supported the designation of Angola’s first Ramsar Wetland.
On livelihoods, De Beers supported 2.6 offsite jobs for every onsite job in 2025 and trained a further 500 women through its EntreprenHER programme, taking the total to more than 3,900 since 2016. The company has also committed US$70 million to the Diamonds for Development Fund in Botswana.
In provenance, its Tracr platform passed five million individually registered rough diamonds, while the company marked 20 years of its Best Practice Principles programme.
De Beers said its next priorities include expanding renewable energy, reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, increasing land protected for nature and extending Tracr’s reach across the diamond value chain.
