Within our organization we identify and implement solutions for poverty, education, climate action and many other Sustainable Development Goals, formulated by the United Nations. Fortunately, for many problems, we can also partner with and support hardworking and passionate people from NGO’s who are tackling these challenges head-on. Previous Goal 15 “Life on Land”: We are funding initiatives to restore our planet's forestry and stop the loss of biodiversity. We are planting trees and are partnering with the NGO 'My Forest Armenia'. Goal 16 “Peace”: As a Sightholder we source rough diamonds from reputable mining companies such as De Beers and Alrosa. Our sourcing fully complies with the Kimberly Process & UN Guiding Principles combating conflict & human right abuses across the value chain. Next Reduce Electricity Consumption As global warming is a serious threat to our society, we all need to do what we can to improve the situation as fast as possible. Besides calculating its carbon footprint IGC Group is making efforts to become more energy efficient in its everyday practices. Not only was the new Antwerp head office constructed as one of the most energy efficient diamond buildings, today 100% of its used electricity is generated from green energy sources. What is perhaps most impressive is that the Antwerp office made efforts across the board and has reduced its electricity consumption by more than 50% compared to 2017, saving 79.423 kWh in energy. To further minimize our environmental impact in the coming years, IGC Group will keep on implementing sustainable practices such as retrofitting LED lighting and energy efficient appliances throughout its worldwide organization.
