The GemFair ASM Assurance Program enables GemFair to purchase eligible diamonds with confidence that the diamonds originated from legitimate artisanal mine sites, promoting human rights.
The purpose of the GemFair ASM Assurance Program is two-fold: (1) to promote the inclusion of the greatest number of artisanal diamond miners that operate in line with internationally recognized responsible sourcing standards; and (2) provide a framework to work with artisanal miners to progressively develop these standards over time.
The GemFair ASM Assurance Programme draws its structure, scope and intent from the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains, De Beers Group’s Best Practice Principles Assurance Program and the Alliance for Responsible Mining and Resolve’s CRAFT Code.
This assurance program is underpinned by a digital record of the diamonds found by registered miners at participating mine sites. GemFair’s ASM Standard Requirements, Manual and other policies will be updated on a regular basis to incorporate key learnings from our growing experience in the sector.
