Ruby and emerald miner Gemfields has become the first and only gemstone producer to be recognised as a corporate member by Voluntary Principles. A globally recognised initiative by governments, companies and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) to confront human rights abuses and violations, the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR) have become the common standard implemented across a variety of industries, guiding companies on how to conduct their security operations, while simultaneously respecting human rights.
