Additionally, the bourse harvests up to 2.7 million liters of rainwater annually, further reducing its environmental footprint.

Beyond infrastructure and trade, BDB plays a pivotal role in nurturing diamond entrepreneurs, especially from the small and mid-sized segments of the industry, thereby fostering inclusive growth and long-term value creation.
