Board risks

Diamond price deflation and lab-grown substitution challenge the studded engine

Medium Score 12 (impact 3 x likelihood 4) | Near | Trend: Stable

Question for the Board: How much of our studded margin and diamond stock value depends on natural prices holding, and is beYon scaled to hedge it?

Suggested mitigation: 1) Diamond stock ageing and net-realisable-value review. 2) Price-band strategy across natural, LGD and gold. 3) Supplier contract and pricing review. 4) Scenario on studded mix if natural prices fall another 20%.

DPDP compliance and customer-data cyber exposure

Medium Score 8 (impact 4 x likelihood 2) | Distant | Trend: Easing

Question for the Board: Are consent records and breach response on track for May 2027, and when was the last independent test?

Suggested mitigation: 1) Gap-assess consent records and data inventory against the Rules. 2) Breach-response drill including reporting timelines. 3) Third-party and SaaS vendor data review. 4) Internal Audit assurance on data inventory.
