Hari Krishna Exports Receives Environmental Excellence Award at JWA Hong Kong 2025

Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd., a global frontrunner in natural diamond production and sustainable practices, has been awarded the Environmental Stewardship Award at the Jewellery World Awards (JWA) 2025, hosted at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong.

This recognition honors the company’s impactful efforts toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially in areas like marine life conservation and land ecosystem restoration. It also continues their streak of excellence following the JWA 2024 Jury’s Special Recognition Award in the same category.

Central to this achievement is the work of the Dholakia Foundation, the CSR arm of Hari Krishna Exports. Through projects like Mission River, the foundation has successfully restored 164+ lakes and rivers, saved over 36 billion liters of water, and enhanced irrigation and biodiversity across drought-affected regions in Gujarat.

In parallel, Mission 102030 has led to the planting of 3.6 million trees, contributing to the creation of green corridors, micro-habitats, and natural carbon sinks. These green initiatives have significantly benefited over 250,000 rural villagers and farmers, by improving the environment and reversing migration patterns.

The award also spotlighted the restoration of important freshwater ecosystems—including Bharatmala Sarovar, Kalwa River, and Saraswati River—which now support a wide range of migratory birds such as Painted Storks and Herons.

The award was received by Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder and Managing Director; alongside second-generation family members Hasu Dholakia, Rajesh Dholakia, and Brijesh Dholakia; and Mukesh Dholakia, head of H.K. Impex in Hong Kong.

“My father taught me that honesty and hard work are the cornerstones of business. At Hari Krishna Exports, those values guide us every day. From nurturing our 9,000-strong workforce to restoring ecosystems, each diamond we create carries our love for the Earth. When we care for nature, joy reflects in the final product,” said Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder & Managing Director.
