Established in 1987, Fine Jewellery has always been guided by strong family values and a commitment to ethical business practices that shine through in every aspect of its operations. Headquartered in Mumbai, the company has a global reach through its presence in Belgium, the US and France, serving customers worldwide. Fine Jewellery’s manufacturing operations have been fully powered by renewable energy for more than three years. All jewellery produced are made with 100% recycled precious metals.
In 2024, the company’s sustainability projects focused on tree plantation and lake rejuvenation, with socioeconomic and community impacts spanning employment generation, sustainable resource use and community awareness.
The company has planted approximately 15,000 trees across multiple locations in Maharashtra and Gujarat to date, of which 6,000 trees were planted and nurtured in urban and rural areas in the Fiscal Year 2024. During the same period, two lakes were rejuvenated in water-scarce regions, directly benefiting hundreds of households by improving water availability for domestic and agricultural use.
Established in 1992 by the Dholakia brothers – Savji, Tulsi, Himmat and Ghanshyam – Hari Krishna Exports is headquartered in Mumbai, with manufacturing units in Surat, Gujarat. With over three decades of experience, the company has expanded its operations globally, exporting polished diamonds to over 100 countries.
In 2024, the company – through its philanthropic arm, the Dholakia Foundation – stepped up its flagship environmental initiatives, namely:
- Mission River: A comprehensive river and watershed rejuvenation programme. Through this mission, the company rejuvenated over 164 water bodies and conserved approximately 36 billion litres of water.
- Mission 102030: A decade-long afforestation and biodiversity enhancement campaign aimed at planting 10 million trees by 2030. With over 3.5 million trees already planted (approximately 500,000 trees planted in 2024), Hari Krishna’s efforts have transformed barren landscapes, rejuvenated ecosystems and empowered local communities.
