The Board of Directors of the Natural Diamond Council (NDC) has received Russian miner ALROSA’s decision to suspend its membership, NDS said in a statement.
In suspending its membership, ALROSA has stepped down from the Board and will cease all financial contributions.
NDC is a global organization whose members’ operations span six continents and more than a dozen countries including Canada, South Africa, Botswana, and Australia.
Its mission is to enhance the world of natural diamond jewelry, in support of more than 10 million industry employees and their families. NDC will be continuing to promote the industry alongside its many global partners.
“As an organization, our thoughts remain with people impacted by the current geopolitical crisis,” it said.
