Worker Exploitation & Unsafe Working Environments
By searching the web we did not come across many worker exploitation news stories. However we did manage to find some examples of hazardous working conditions and worker exploitation that have been going on for quite a while. For example, sinceĀ childrenĀ minds are still developing and can beĀ easily manipulated, they are often seen as targets for hiring workers in the mining industry along with other desperate citizens. These children, along with many others, go through conditions such as:
Working 10 hours a day only to receive low wages($1)
Those in charge of mining often get the kids on drugs and alcoholĀ in order to exploit some children.
Profits made from diamonds that are mined get used for military action, rather than health care, education, clean water, etc.
Being exposed to many diseases such as malaria, dysentery (infected intestines), and sexual diseases because workers aren't provided with proper materials.
Eye strain, headaches, malnutrition, and respiratory problems are common for miners
Working in scorching heat
Is your company environmentally responsible?
Being that Michael hill is only the company who is receiving the commodity, their environmental impact would beĀ minusculeĀ compared to the actual process ofĀ retrieving the diamonds themselves. No stories or information was present about Michael Hill and their first hand relation to the environment, but by using common sense, itās obvious that they would make some kind of dent in the habitat they surround. Companies donāt usually promote the environmental impact theyāre making (usually because itās all negative), but if you refer to the question āTo what extent is the environment being affected,ā youāll see what terrible shape the environment is in.Ā Michael Hill may not be harming the environment first hand, but just by putting one order through to a diamond mine, theyāre hurting the environment regardless.
Would you purchase this product knowing what you do now about the resource and manufacturing impacts on lesser developed nations?
To be brutally honest there might be a chance that we may purchase a diamond product in the future, even though we donāt agree with their methods of extraction right now. Hopefully by then diamond companies have thought about more ways to benefit a nation rather than destroying it, but the thought of those affected by our selfish needs makes us sort of sick to the stomach. Diamonds are not a necessity of life, no one needs a diamond to survive, there are plenty of other ways to show your loved ones you care. The more information we learned about the effects diamond mining has, the more the idea ādiamonds display loveā has no meaning.
Is it really worth having a diamond to show you care, if it means another is being punished?

What changes would recommend your company take to make it as more socially responsible company?
Even though Michael Hills claims that their rough diamonds are āconflict freeā and are only purchased from āsources they can trustā it does not mean that there aren't some conflict diamonds that make their way into their stores.
We suggest that they enforce stricter policies on conflict diamonds to make them more socially responsible. They can do this by providing each diamond sold with legitimate documents from trusted workers in partnering countries (better than the Kimberly Process Certificate Scheme). Making sure that the miners who work to provide Michael Hills with diamonds are treated fairly and earn beneficial wages or health care. Michael Hill must be 100% sure that they are not importing diamonds that support conflict. If the profit made by Michael Hill can somehow contribute to providing better conditions and benefits towards the nations who work for them, they can help them so much more.
