Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK), a prominent company in natural diamond crafting and exports, proudly announces its membership in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). This initiative allows companies worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices voluntarily. As a participant in the UNGC, SRK commits to implementing sustainable policies across its operations, focusing on human rights, environmental stewardship, and labor standards, among others. Regular progress reporting ensures transparency and accountability in these efforts.
Joining the UNGC marks a significant milestone for SRK, emphasizing its dedication to high standards of social responsibility in the diamond and jewelry sector. Recently, a milestone was reached as SRK accelerated its emissions reduction targets. Originally targeted for 2030, net zero emissions were achieved recently at SRK’s flagship facilities, SRK House and SRK Empire. This achievement made SRK the first company globally to attain net zero certification for existing buildings from the Global Network for Zero (GNFZ), further enhancing its reputation as a leader in sustainability practices.
Dr. Nirav Mandir, Chief Human Capital & Sustainability Officer at SRK, highlighted the company’s enthusiasm for global collaboration aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. “SRK is deeply committed to integrating sustainability into our core business strategy and setting an example for the industry while bringing others along with us. Collaborating with global corporations to share best practices and foster sustainable business models is a priority. Engaging with the UNGC and its partners equips us with valuable tools and insights to embed sustainability further into our operations.”
Launched in 2000, the UNGC encourages companies to voluntarily develop, implement, and disclose sustainable corporate policies worldwide. SRK’s participation provides access to resources and training opportunities to enhance expertise across all aspects of sustainability. This move not only reaffirms SRK’s commitment to sustainability but also positions it as a leader in responsible corporate citizenship globally.
