As the Kimberley Process Intersessional Meeting 2026 concludes in Mumbai, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council reaffirms its commitment to strengthening a credible, compliant, and consumer-confident natural diamond trade.
Over the last four days, we have seen constructive dialogue among governments, industry, and civil society on advancing the 3Cs framework—Credibility, Compliance, and Consumer Confidence—that India has set for its Chairmanship year. The discussions on strengthening the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, monitoring and compliance mechanisms, artisanal production, and supply chain transparency are critical to ensuring the KP remains relevant in a marketplace shaped by transparency, sustainability, and digital verification.
GJEPC welcomes the unified focus on reinforcing trust in ethically sourced natural diamonds and on adapting the KP to evolving global challenges. Natural diamonds represent a sustainable product and livelihood for millions, and the Kimberley Process continues to be one of the most progressive certification systems globally.
We will continue to work closely with the Government of India, KP Participants, the World Diamond Council, and civil society to support India’s leadership and to advance best practices that safeguard the integrity of the global diamond industry. GJEPC remains committed to ensuring that consumer confidence in conflict-free diamonds is strengthened across all markets.
Let us carry forward the momentum from Mumbai to build a more transparent, inclusive, and future-ready Kimberley Process for the benefit of producing nations, the trade, and consumers worldwide.
