Our Commitment to Responsible Business Practices
At PBK INTERNATIONAL BV, we uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsibility in every aspect of our operations. Our commitment to responsible business practices encompasses various key areas, including responsible sourcing, conflict-free diamond policies, and adherence to international guidelines.
Support for International Standards
PBK INTERNATIONAL BV supports and promotes processes that uphold the highest standards in the diamond trade. We strictly adhere to the guidelines set forth by the OECD and fully comply with the World Diamond Council's system of warranties. Our commitment to diamond sourcing extends beyond conflict avoidance; we actively promote fair trade policies and ethical business practices.
Combatting Conflict Diamonds: Supporting the Kimberley Process
To combat conflict diamonds and standardize mining practices, we support the Kimberley Process—a global initiative established in 2000 to track and certify diamonds. We collaborate exclusively with reputable suppliers who share our commitment to conflict-free sourcing and ethical business conduct.
Adherence to OECD Guidelines
PBK INTERNATIONAL BV aligns with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. This guidance fosters transparent and conflict-free supply chains, promoting sustainable corporate engagement in the minerals sector.
Responsible Sourcing: Conflict-Free Diamond Policy
We recognize and adhere to the guiding principles outlined in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Our objective is to respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through the mineral supply chain.
Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
We are fully committed to responsible sourcing practices and expect the same from our suppliers worldwide. Through continuous risk assessment and supplier identification, we aim to assure our customers, employees, and stakeholders that we uphold human rights and maintain transparent and ethical business practices.
PBK INTERNATIONAL BV has implemented a zero-tolerance policy towards conflict diamonds. We exclusively source diamonds from suppliers who strictly adhere to and enforce Kimberley Process standards. Our suppliers demonstrate a robust supply chain protocol, allowing for the tracking of diamonds by origin. We have established a strong management system to ensure adherence to our policy, including rigorous risk assessment and response strategies. Any suppliers found violating our sourcing standards are immediately severed from our supply chain.
