SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE
The importance of sustainable development is more pertinent than ever before. When governments and countries are looking at coal reductions – a product that is so critical for our necessities and essential goods and services – Limelight Diamonds believe that as responsible citizens of the planet, they can at least begin with looking at sustainable alternatives to goods that impact the environmental but are purchased purely for self-pleasure, confidence and satisfaction – i.e luxury. Diamonds have always been admired and purchased to reflect a woman’s status, beauty and self-confidence. However, this has always come at a huge social and environmental cost due to mining. Earlier consumers did not have a choice. But today through evolution of technology, consumers are blessed with lab grown diamonds that are not mined yet are real. Inspiring, beautiful, and totally couture, yet easy on the ecology, through lab-grown diamond jewellery, Limelight Diamonds wish to give it back to mother earth and have taken it upon themselves to add these more sustainable diamonds to every conscious diva’s wish list.

REAL CHANGE IN ACTION
CLIMATE
Limelight Lab Grown Diamonds and its direct suppliers have adopted solar energy as its primary energy source with up to 99% of Limelight’s energy now being renewable. The brand has implemented circularity in its business by choosing recycled materials such as gold for its core product manufacturing as well as paper-based packaging. To ensure product longevity and extended life cycle, Limelight introduced a product reclamation and repair programme. Through careful selection, Limelight Diamonds has chosen a logistics provider that aligns with its own environmental and social responsibility targets. By using route optimisation software and methods for packaging consolidation, this partner is able to significantly lower its carbon footprint in turn greatly reducing Limelight Diamond's Scope 3 carbon emissions. Furthermore, its logistics and warehousing partner has opted for reusable steel containers over plastic.
