The Diamond Dream
The diamond business is not about diamonds.
When a man gives a woman a diamondhe is not just giving her a diamond.
The retail diamond business is about making people feel good.
Diamond Industry Responsibility
21
Diamond Dream
What about the diamond dream of the woman in Sierra Leone ?
. Is our dream her nightmare?
How do diamonds benefit artasinal diggers?
22
Ethical Issues
Artisanal Diggers– 1.5 million in West Africa– 7.5 million live off diamonds– 70% unemployment– 28% of children die before age 5
You are responsible for what you buy
And responsible for what you don’t buy
23
Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process (KP) Works to Eliminate Conflict Diamonds
KP Does not deal with development Issues
24
Corporate Responsibility
Corporate Responsibility is an obligation that extends beyond law.
Corporate Responsibility extends beyond the Kimberley Process.
25
Development Issues
Why did G-d give diamonds to the poorest people in the world and make them desired by richest people in the world.
What is the role of the diamond industry?
26
Development Issues
The Road to Hell is Paved With Good Intentions
No good deed ever goes unpunished
Poverty Alleviation
Sustainable Economic Development
27
Fair Trade Jewelry
Fair CompensationCommunity BenefitDo No HarmMonitoring & Branding
28
Fair Trade Jewelry
Fair Trade Jewelry is sustainable because socially conscious consumers will spend more for diamonds and jewelry that makes the world a better place.
Fair Trade Jewelry is not charity it is sustainable economic activity.
29
Take Away
Our diamondsare only as good as we are.
Martin Rapaport

The Tough Question
Who needs Israel?No mines.No consumers.
How do we add value to diamonds?
31
Distribution
Non-mining profit in the diamond business comes from:– finding the right buyer– for the right diamond– at the right time– at the right price (added value)
Free, fair, open, competitive markets
32
Distribution
Governments can and should create an enabling environment for beneficiation. But they cannot legislate development and sustainable job creation which can only be done by the private sector. in a free market.
33
Distribution
Governments must be extremely careful not to use their regulatory power to eliminate the competitive distribution of diamonds or they will destroy their diamond business
There must be room for everyone and every idea in a free market.
34
Distribution
All competition is legitimate & good.– Companies should be able to sell their
diamonds any way they want as long as they do not dominate the market
– Selective distribution can and should compete with tenders or any other distribution system
35
Distribution
If adding value through downstream marketing initiatives is a good idea then it should not have to be enforced by selective restrictive distribution.
36
Beneficiation
With all due respect to Africa why shouldn’t buying countries also demand their fair share of beneficiation?
Over-regulating diamond distribution can be a double edged sword.
37
Take Away
Free Fair Competitive Markets is the only way forward.
Governments should create an enabling environment and encourage but not enforce beneficiation over the long term.
38
Markets
Chief Linchwe II – Head of the Bakgatla tribe, one of the founders of Botswana
“As children we learned the meaning of life from the elders of the village as we sat in the circle of the fire.”
39
Markets
“My grandmother liked to tell the story of two men. One was blind and one could not walk. They were working together, you see. The blind man carried the crippled man on his back. One had the feet; the other had the eyes.”
40
Markets
“One day, they met a lion. The blind man just through the crippled man away and ran. The crippled one was killed by the lion because he couldn’t run; the blind one was killed because he couldn’t see.”
41
Markets
“As people, you must live together, especially in an unhappy situation. This is the main purpose of the African in traditional life: to live with his community, to protect others. There are lions everywhere, you know.”
Chief Linchwe II – a Founder of Botswana
42
Conclusion
The greater the lion the greater the need to cooperate.
Everyone in the diamond industry is dependent on everyone else.
Everyone can and should add value in their own way.

Mahatma Gandhi
Man becomes greatexactly in the degreein which he works for the welfareof his fellow man.
