Our project to transition our Coimbatore diamond manufacturing site over to solar power wins recognition from the UK’s National Association of Jewellers.
Dimexon has been shortlisted for Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of the Year at The National Association of Jewellers Awards 2024 for our project to switch our Coimbatore manufacturing centre over to solar power.
The CSR Initiative of the Year Award is sponsored by the Responsible Jewellery Council, and seeks to reward “a company that has demonstrated a commitment to CSR and sustainability initiatives in the past 12 months”.
Our transition to solar power at Coimbatore, which came into effect in May, is an initiative that has been 18 months in the making, and will have a huge impact on our global emissions. Our Coimbatore site is responsible for 85% of our total emissions, so switching to green energy there is a major step forward on our pathway to carbon neutrality by 2030.
In the first year, we estimate that we will save ~1,400 tCO2e of carbon by switching to solar power. This is the equivalent of taking 333 cars off the road for a year.
The NAJ Awards, sponsored by Curteis, is run by The National Association of Jewellers, a British trade organisation that represents 1,400 members, employing 24,000 people. The Awards will be held on October 10th, 2024, in Birmingham in the UK.
