Our culture
A formula for success, created by our people, for our people to drive cultural change and deliver our purpose.
We are committed to creating a positive culture at Petra Diamonds. The entire company has contributed towards what we see as “enablers”, what we want to do more of, and “disablers”, what we want to do less of. From this, we have developed a ”formula for success”, where each team has created actions to work towards and be measured against in order to transform the way we live and act in our daily engagements, to make what we aspire to be, part of our every day. Through this united vision, we believe we can bring to life the vital essence of Petra in the hearts and minds of all our people:
