The Lab Grown Diamond Council (LGDC) will have internationally recognised third-party certifier and standards developer, SCS Global Services (SCS), to create the first sustainability standard in the jewellery industry involving a comprehensive assessment of the lab-grown diamond production process, compliance auditing, diamond testing and traceability and the issuance of SCS Sustainably Grown Diamond certification mark.
Chris Casey, president of LGDC said customers nowadays take environmental standards as major consideration before purchase and they want a valid, third-party verification of the sustainability and origin of products, thus making a big step to increase transparency on the sustainability of the lab-grown diamond industry.
The standard will address environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability and expected to be ready and eligible to apply in six months. A Sustainably Grown Diamond label will be given to the certified companies.
