    Breitling’s involvement in our program stems from their dedication to sustainability and social responsibility. Their switch to lab-grown diamonds, with a focus on traceability and social and environmental measures, is accompanied by the establishment of the Impact Diamond Fund. This fund allocates a portion of each lab-grown diamond purchase to support positive social and environmental impacts. Their priorities include women’s economic empowerment, social entrepreneurship for economic development, and regeneration in former diamond mining areas. They are directing these efforts to Gujarat, western India, a key part of their diamond value chain, to empower entrepreneurs, especially women, and contribute to positive social and environmental change. This commitment resonates with our program’s mission, making Breitling a valuable partner in our endeavour.
