The Socio-Economic Value of Natural Diamonds: How Do Natural Diamonds Make a Difference?
The natural diamond industry has a profound and measurable impact on global communities. It directly supports 10 million people worldwide, with 80% of the value generated by sustainable diamond recovery staying within local communities. This translates to an impressive $6.8 billion annually flowing directly into these communities, driving economic growth and social development.
Natural diamonds play a vital role in supporting education, healthcare, and infrastructure in diamond-producing countries. A significant portion of the revenue from sustainable diamond mining is reinvested into local communities, funding critical projects such as schools, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure development (including roads, water systems, and electricity). These investments improve living standards and drive long-term economic growth in diamond mining regions. By supporting community development, the diamond industry helps create sustainable, thriving communities.
