 Our business

Our business: an overview of De Beers Group Managed Operations

De Beers Group Managed Operations, has been operating in South Africa for more than 135 years.

We’re involved in almost every part of the diamond pipeline. That means upstream operations like exploration and mining, midstream operations like sales and technology, downstream consumer-facing retail, and innovative research that extends far beyond the traditional diamond pipeline.

We’re committed to driving our industry forwards in everything we do – working to create a brighter future for our people, our planet and the communities around us.

Our difference

We strive to unlock the full economic value of our leadership position across the diamond pipeline and do it in a safe and sustainable way. To create shared value, we ensure sustainable development across all our activities, which is an important part of what makes our business model work. This helps us to ensure we do no harm to either our employees or our communities and reduce the negative impact we have on the environment while at the same time contributing to conservation.

While the emotional value prescribed to a diamond can't be quantified, the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of each diamond helps to determine its financial value. The largest, and most established, diamond jewellery market is the US, with China and India growing strongly.
