Social Performance Projects

DTC Botswana defines Social Performance as contribution in the form of money, employee time and other resources towards the improvement and development of the lives of the community and creating a legacy of sustainability.

To play an active and meaningful role in the lives of our communities, as a responsible and caring corporate citizen, we acknowledge the need to make an investment that will add some measure of value to the quality of life in Botswana.

Our Social Performance programme enables us to do just that. In making our contribution to community upliftment in Botswana, we do acknowledge that that there is still much more to be done but the challenges are surmountable.

Sorting and Valuing
The key activity of DTC Botswana is Sorting and Valuation of rough diamonds. When diamonds arrive from the mines, they are sorted into different categories according to their carat, cut, clarity, and colour (4Cs).

DTC Botswana focuses on attracting, retaining and developing inclusion and diversity in our daily operations. Being an inclusive organization means breaking the norms on how we do business, developing policies and procedures that accommodate individuals of any kind and most importantly being diverse with our thinking, our interactions and our drive to build all employees. We have zero tolerance to discrimination of any type, bullying and harassment. These are our main drivers of our inclusion and diversity strategy.
