Description
Episode 10: Diamonds Doing Good In this episode, we find out how natural diamonds are doing good in the countries they’re discovered and – how through them – we’re helping bring Building Forever to life in Namibia.   As one of the key contributors to the Namibian economy, we’ll find out how, in partnership with the Namibian government, we’re making a positive impact on the country’s people and communities for decades to come. We speak to Selma Usiku, Projects Geologist in Mineral Resource Management from Debmarine Namibia and Emmarencia Shanglee, Project Manager – Strategic Projects at Namdeb, about their work and how our diamonds are doing good across the region.   Ethical practice, thriving communities, equal opportunity and the natural world are topics teeming with questions – and if you’ve got one for us, we’d love to hear from you.
