De Beers is preparing to publicize its requirements for sightholder applications for the next three-year contract period.
New requirements will be presented to sightholders on the nearest site, which will be held from July 14 to 18.
According to Rapaport, De Beers vice president of global sales to sightholders Paul Rowley said that the focus will be on ensuring greater transparency and financial stability of sightholders.
"We realized that we need to be flexible and simplify the process, while preserving a number of barriers," Rowley said. - We would like to see the status of the sightholder become more prestigious, and our clients were reliable and stable. Applying the principles of best practices and financial management, we strive to increase the transparency and ensure the financial stability of sightholders, who together with our company promote the development of the entire diamond industry.
