The company now reports a product carbon footprint of –0.239 kg CO?e per carat of polished diamond and an organisational carbon footprint of –893 metric tons CO?e. These figures, independently certified by Deutsch Quality Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd., are based on globally recognised frameworks including ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14067:2018, ISO 14068-1:2023, and the GHG Protocol.

This achievement comes at a time when India is making notable progress on its emissions reduction roadmap and has recently entered the Top 100 of the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index for the first time. SRK’s carbon-negative milestone directly supports the country’s climate ambitions and the government’s LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) initiative, which promotes environmentally responsible behaviour across all sectors.

SRK’s sustainability strategy encompasses 14 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, making it one of the most future-focused manufacturers in the country. Its green initiatives span solar-powered operations, net-zero energy and emission buildings, water conservation, waste recycling, and ethical sourcing—all detailed in its upcoming “Pure Impact Report,” which showcases the company's progress with transparency and measurable outcomes.

“This is not just our milestone—it is India’s milestone,” said Shreyans Dholakia, Entrepreneur and Brand Custodian at SRK. “True luxury lies in the impact we create. Sustainability is not an aspiration anymore; it's our standard.”

As industries worldwide face increasing pressure to decarbonise, SRK’s success demonstrates how traditional sectors like natural diamond crafting can embrace innovation without compromising legacy or quality. By becoming climate-positive, SRK sets a new global benchmark—one that combines environmental integrity with manufacturing excellence.
