“The relocation, which will take place over the coming months, supports De Beers’ focus on streamlining its operations and enhancing the efficiency of its activities, while also facilitating further development of the diamond sector in Botswana,” the company told CNA.
The move will entail the closure of the De Beers Singapore office, it said, adding that it is currently in the process of engaging with employees whose roles are expected to be impacted by the relocation.
When asked, De Beers did not tell CNA how many employees would be affected by the move.
