The London Diamond Bourse in Hatton Garden is measuring the impact its businesses have on the environment.
It has enlisted the help of international carbon consultancy Carbon-Expert and is working alongside CIBJO, The World Jewellery Confederation, to promote the Jewellery Industry Measurement Initiative which was launched by CIBJO at its annual Congress in Moscow in 2014, the bourse said in a statement.
As well as being a standard for the measurement of carbon emissions, the initiative consolidates the principles of honesty and integrity that are fundamental to the jewelry industry.
