Launching Element Six’s new Sustainability Plan

 

Since Element Six (E6) first launched its Sustainability Task Force back in September 2020, we have been focussed on doing our part to preserve an earth worth living on. Today we are announcing the launch of the new E6 Sustainability Plan, to ensure we contribute towards limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement, optimise resource efficiency, support customer sustainability and promote a safe, fair and inclusive work environment for all.

More than five years on from that first sustainability project launch, E6 teams across the business are continuing to drive sustainable innovation, even in complex environments; integrating the latest environmental, social and governance (ESG) processes, and ensuring the E6 culture is built around responsibility. We believe that a sustainable business is a resilient business – this is how we shape the future.

 

“At Element Six we believe it is our duty to do our part to preserve an earth worth living on. Since 2020, we have made this a core component of our plan; to support our emissions reduction roadmap and the shift towards more sustainable manufacturing. It’s important that our sustainability principles are built into our culture to enable us to better shape the future.”

Siobhán Duffy, Chief Executive Officer, Element Six

The E6 Sustainability Plan sits within De Beers Group’s sustainability strategy - Building Forever.

As part of the Sustainability Plan launch, we have also developed a new section on our website and set-up a library resource with the latest certifications from across the Group.
