According to a news release, the Community Service Award recognizes a member or group who has made a significant contribution to improving the quality of life for communities, and which has ideally demonstrated consistency in carrying out community-based activities.

“De Beers is honoured to be recognized for our efforts in community development.” Lyndon Clark, General Manager of Gahcho Kué mine, says, “We are particularly proud of our team, who has worked hard to develop meaningful relationships with our communities and made a real effort to listen and understand to the needs and priorities expressed by northerners.”

The De Beers Group follows business sustainability strategy called Building
