RAPAPORT... The World Federation of Diamond
Bourses (WFDB) will hold its 37th World Diamond Congress in Dubai from May 16
to 19, placing transparency, responsibility and sustainability at the heart of the
summit’s agenda.
The meeting, a biennial gathering of
the WFDB and the International Diamond Manufacturers Association (IDMA), will
be attended by the WFDB’s 30 presidents and more than 200 representatives of
the global diamond industry, according to a WFDB statement January 21.
"Given the challenging conditions facing the diamond
business, this year's meetings will be all the more important,” said Ernie
Blom, president of the WFDB. “We will be discussing how to create sustainable,
long-term growth in the diamond supply pipeline, while bearing in mind the need
for transparency, the highest levels of ethical behavior and corporate social
responsibility.”
The WFDB also aims to use the forum to galvanize
support for generic marketing of diamonds through its World Diamond Mark initiative
and create stronger links with the Diamond Producers Association.
