SRK Sets New Benchmark in Sustainability by Achieving Reduction in GHG Emissions
Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK), a global leader in natural diamond crafting and exports, has set a new benchmark in sustainability by achieving a 34% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per carat compared to the global industry average.
This achievement, announced on International Reducing CO2 Emissions Day, which is celebrated on January 28 every year, has been independently verified and validated by Deutsch Quality Systems (India) Private Limited, a renowned ISO certification body, ensuring compliance with international standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064 and ISO 14067.
As of November 2024, SRK recorded emissions of just 70.49 kgCO2e per carat of natural diamond, setting a significant benchmark. It is now focused on further reducing emissions by expanding the use of renewable energy, particularly solar power across its facilities.
SRK, known for its innovative approach and commitment to sustainability, operates with a “cradle-to-grave” strategy that covers every stage of the diamond lifecycle from raw material extraction to the end-of-life phase. This comprehensive effort positions SRK as a pioneer in driving environmentally responsible practices within the diamond industry.
Dr Nirav Mandir, Chief Human Capital & Sustainability Officer at SRK said, “We are committed to creating a positive and lasting impact, not just for our business but for the global natural diamond industry. By addressing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and now targeting Scope 3, we are building a sustainable future that will benefit both our industry and the planet.”
In May 2024, SRK was recognized as the world’s first company to operate with Net-Zero Energy, which was achieved by the adoption of renewable energy sources like rooftop solar power, along with waste management and sewage treatment initiatives that have drastically reduced its carbon footprint. Its Net-Zero efforts for water, waste and carbon are underway. SRK achieved LEED Platinum certification for its green buildings and also leads the industry with the highest number of ISO certifications, demonstrating its focus on quality, environmental responsibility, and health and safety.
With its pioneering efforts, SRK is leading the way in reshaping the natural diamond industry, demonstrating that luxury can coexist with sustainability and driving the world toward a more sustainable future.

A Celebration Of Regal Femininity, Heirloom Craftsmanship, and The Refreshing Depth Of Emeralds.
June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.

At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.
The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.
This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.
These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.
Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:
“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
