Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has become a member of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses’ (WFDB) WFDB Mark Associate Member Programme, as announced by WFDB. The WFDB Mark is formally an exclusive Mark of Confidence held by diamantaires who are members of one of the 26 bourses affiliated to the WFDB. However, industry organisations and service providers to the diamond and gem business are given the opportunity to participate in the Programme. %% AWDC's CEO Freddy Hanard explained "More than ever, diamond buyers need to buy diamonds from reputable diamantaires, and need to be offered proof and assurance of that reputation, in particular outside the bourses, down the polished diamond supply pipeline. The WFDB Mark is the symbol that represents those guarantees." %% AWDC is a not-for-profit umbrella organisation addressing Antwerp’s diamond, gem and jewellery industry. Hanard wrote to WFDB Secretary General, Michael Vaughan: "We recognise the importance of the WFDB Mark, which in all practical terms serves to enhance the reputation of the diamond business community at large, and specifically about the WFDB as the chief guardian of the diamond trade's business practices. %% In his letter, Hanard confirmed that the AWDC had made a substantial contribution to the programme. “The AWDC - as the first WFDB Mark Associate Member, will carry the WFDB Mark proudly!" he said.
