FXT Unveils FXT AI: A Multi-Agent Trading Co-Pilot for Market Insight, Risk Awareness and Trader Development.

SYDNEY, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FXT today announced the launch of FXT AI, an advanced AI trading co-pilot integrated directly into the FXT trading platform. Designed to give traders an immediate edge. FXT AI acts as a dedicated partner that continuously watches the market, reviews trading history, and monitors risk.

Traders often struggle to make sense of overwhelming market data while managing risk exposure. FXT AI solves this by operating as three specialist agents working together seamlessly within a trader’s existing account. There is no new app to download. Traders simply open their dashboard to get instant, actionable insights, asking questions to dig deeper into market movements and personal performance.

Three Specialist Agents

• Market Reader: Reads the market around the clock and explains what matters and why.
  
  Traders can ask about specific instrument movements.
  
  
  
  
• Trade Mentor: Turns a trader’s history into their next advantage. It breaks down trade history,
  
  flags costly habits and compares win rates.
  
  
  
  
• Risk Monitor: Explains the risk in open positions in plain terms, offering stop-loss suggestions and leverage exposure insights.

Unlike generic market signals, FXT AI is built on the trader’s actual account activity. Every insight is transparent and explainable. FXT AI informs the strategy, but the trader always decides and executes the trades.

“We built FXT AI to give traders a partner that understands their habits and the wider market,” said Adam Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at FXT. “It turns complexity into clear, personalised insight, helping clients recognise opportunities, strengthen their process and make confident decisions.”

FXT AI runs directly on the FXT platform across web, desktop, and mobile devices, alongside third-party MetaQuotes platforms such as MT4 and MT5. Additional specialist agents are currently in development as FXT continues to expand the platform’s capabilities.

CJ 4DPLEX EXPANDS SCREENX PRESENCE IN EUROPE THROUGH NEW AGREEMENT WITH PATHÉ CINÉMAS

Partnership marks a major SCREENX milestone with one of Europe’s most prominent cinema exhibitors

BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading producer of premium cinema formats and immersive theater experiences, and Pathé Cinémas, one of Europe’s leading cinema operators, today announced a new agreement to bring four new SCREENX auditoriums to France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Delivering this premium 270-degree panoramic display enhances key scenes with exclusive visual elements and fully immerses audiences in a one-of-a-kind cinematic adventure.

“Europe is one of SCREENX’s most dynamic and strategically important markets, and this expanded agreement with Pathé Cinémas represents another significant milestone in our growth,” said Don Savant, Chief Business Officer, CJ 4DPLEX. “Pathé is one of Europe’s most respected and innovative cinema exhibitors, and we are proud to deepen our longstanding partnership across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Together, we look forward to bringing the uniquely immersive SCREENX experience to more moviegoers and creating new opportunities to expand our partnership throughout Europe.”

“Our relationship with CJ 4DPLEX has been built on a shared belief in the power of premium cinema, and this expansion deal follows naturally from that foundation,” said Laure de Boissard, Managing Director of Pathé Cinemas. “Bringing SCREENX to additional markets across Europe is an exciting step, and we look forward to offering our guests a premium experience that goes beyond the traditional screen.”

Together, the four auditoriums will further establish SCREENX’s presence across three of Europe’s most active cinema markets.

GREEN FUEL FORWARD EXPANDS INDUSTRY ALLIANCE TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL ADOPTION IN ASIA

Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) and Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo), join GenZero on the Steering Committee, while Amazon, Bain & Company, and Temasek Trust join the growing industry alliance to support credible demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and SAF certificates in Asia.

SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Green Fuel Forward (GFF), launched by GenZero and the World Economic Forum (WEF) in May 2025 to scale demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), today announced an expanded partnership structure and new members as it enters its next phase of market activation.

Announced during Green Markets Day at New York Climate Week, the expansion marks GFF’s shift from building market awareness and procurement readiness to facilitating greater corporate action and participation in SAF and SAF certificates (SAFc) transactions across Asia.

GFF welcomed the Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) and the Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo) to its Steering Committee (SteerCo), alongside founding SteerCo member GenZero. The expanded SteerCo combines investment, demand-aggregation, procurement and market-development expertise as GFF works to translate growing corporate interest in SAF into credible and scalable demand.

Building this demand is particularly important for aviation decarbonisation in Asia, where much of the sector’s future growth is expected. SAF supply remains constrained by its premium over conventional jet fuel and production capacity that is still developing. Stronger and clearer demand signals can encourage investment in new supply and help lower the cost of SAF adoption.

SAFc can provide these demand signals at scale by enabling companies to support the use of SAF and claim the associated emission reductions towards their climate targets, even where direct access to physical SAF is limited or impossible. To support the development of a robust SAFc market in Asia-Pacific, GFF will work with industry, policymakers and standards bodies to establish a trusted framework for corporate engagement.

Frederick Teo, Chief Executive Officer, GenZero, said: “Given the growth of aviation in the Asia-Pacific, the region has a critical role in decarbonising aviation globally. There is tremendous potential to develop technologies in SAF, source feedstock, build production capacity and drive adoption. Corporate ambition to address air travel emissions can direct financing into scaling SAF adoption through the purchase of SAF certificates. Green Fuel Forward aggregates corporate participation into credible, collective demand large enough to meaningfully support production growth across the region. The expertise that GMA and SAFCo bring in demand aggregation, procurement, and market development strengthens Green Fuel Forward’s broad membership base to translate corporate readiness into concerted market action.”

Kim Carnahan, Chief Executive Officer, Center for Green Market Activation, said: “We know that book and claim and demand aggregation can drive new investment and grow the supply of high-integrity SAF. We are thrilled to be joining the Green Fuel Forward SteerCo to bring this model to Asia, ensure it complements existing global initiatives like the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance, and steer it toward real-world contracting that scales SAF uptake in one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world.”

Seow Hui Tan, Chief Executive Officer, SAFCo, said: “As Asia-Pacific’s aviation sector continues to grow, the region has a unique opportunity to lead the next phase of sustainable aviation growth. Singapore’s early leadership in advancing SAF policy demonstrates how practical regulations, trusted governance, and market-based mechanisms can accelerate SAF adoption while maintaining environmental integrity. Beyond supporting Singapore’s national SAF ambitions, SAFCo’s expertise, processes, systems, and market infrastructure being developed through the SAF policy can help lay the foundations for a credible and scalable voluntary SAF and SAF certificate market across Asia-Pacific. Through Green Fuel Forward, we look forward to working with partners to strengthen corporate participation, build market confidence, and accelerate the development of a trusted regional SAF ecosystem.”

With added institutional expertise and a broader corporate buyer base, GFF is better positioned to help companies move from learning about SAFc to evaluating and participating in procurement opportunities. By aggregating demand and strengthening connections among buyers, market intermediaries and suppliers, GFF aims to create a stronger commercial foundation for SAF growth in Asia.

As GFF moves from capacity-building towards supporting more pragmatic action, WEF will hand over the secretariat function of the initiative to the SteerCo. WEF played an important role in the initiative’s formative year, helping to shape the platform, convene stakeholders, build momentum, and strengthen the understanding of the SAF market.

Pedro Gomez, Head, Industry Agenda, Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum, said: “With GenZero and dozens of private sector companies, we launched Green Fuel Forward to spark interest in SAF in the Asia-Pacific region. One and a half years later, this collective effort has shown that the local SAF market is maturing fast, and more corporates are planning to take pragmatic action and invest in the sector. The World Economic Forum looks forward to seeing this momentum transform into credible demand as GenZero and the new SteerCo take over the strategic leadership of the campaign, bringing experience from transactions that can really scale the impact of Green Fuel Forward in the coming years.”

New members broaden the alliance

Alongside the expanded SteerCo, GFF has recently welcomed Amazon, Bain & Company, and Temasek Trust as new members, broadening the group of companies seeking to accelerate the shift towards lower-carbon aviation. Temasek Trust also joins as a catalytic contributor, providing funding to offset procurement costs and help SAF adoption. GFF’s total membership now stands at 48.

GFF’s members span three key groups: companies with significant business-travel footprints; companies with substantial logistics and air-cargo operations; and international corporations looking to decarbonise their value chains in Asia.

Corporate interest in SAF is growing, but buyers continue to face practical barriers to procurement. Questions remain around how SAF certificate purchases can be reported under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, while buyers may also have limited visibility of credible regional supply and lack dedicated in-house procurement capabilities.

Through GFF, participating companies can better understand the SAF market, explore credible procurement pathways, and stay updated on accounting and reporting for SAFc. Catalytic funding, including cost offsets and co-matching for select first-time buyers, can also help lower cost barriers and support early participation.

Sam Israelit, Chief Sustainability Officer, Bain & Company, said: “Business travel is the largest share of Bain’s carbon footprint, and sustainable aviation fuel is central to our science-based path to net zero. Having been among the first corporate buyers of SAF certificates through the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance and the First Movers Coalition, joining Green Fuel Forward is a natural next step: it brings that commitment to Asia-Pacific, where aviation’s growth – and the opportunity to decarbonise it – is greatest. We look forward to helping build the credible, aggregated demand that will catalyse new SAF supply across the region.”

Ryan Tan, Head, Planet Collaborative, Temasek Trust, said: “Aviation is a carbon-intensive sector that is an integral part of the carbon footprint of many companies, such as through business travel and value chains. This makes SAF certificates an important entry point for collective action. Through Green Fuel Forward, Temasek Trust is participating as both a member and catalytic funder to lower barriers for other companies and facilitate demand for SAF. This reflects our commitment to catalysing practical, scalable solutions for tangible climate impact.”

About Green Fuel Forward

Founded by GenZero and the World Economic Forum in 2025, Green Fuel Forward (GFF) is an initiative designed to scale corporate demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Asia-Pacific region. While continuing to build capacity and increase awareness of SAF certificates, in its second year, GFF will explore more structured procurement of sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc), enabling corporate buyers to participate in SAF markets and address their aviation-related Scope 3 emissions. The initiative complements ongoing work by international standards bodies to advance the use of book-and-claim mechanisms, while contributing to global aviation decarbonisation. Through demand aggregation, capacity building and policy engagement, GFF aims to provide clear demand signals required to lower barriers to SAF adoption, strengthen market confidence and ultimately, catalyse new investments into SAF production across Asia-Pacific.

Shell completes sale of interest in Gulf of America platform

HOUSTON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Shell plc, has completed the previously announced agreement to sell its 50% non-operated working interest in the Na Kika platform and associated fields in the Gulf of America as well as its 100% owned Coulomb tieback. Shell received approximately $840 million in cash proceeds, reflecting adjustments between the effective date of July 1, 2025, and closing. The assets were acquired by a subsidiary of Talos Energy and an affiliate of Ridgewood Energy.

The transaction supports Shell’s efforts to actively shape its portfolio to ensure a resilient and increasingly competitive Upstream business. 

Notes to editors 

• The total consideration announced at signing was $1.7 billion, before customary adjustments and certain contingent payments.
• Shell will receive uncapped upside-linked payments through 2027 and overriding royalty interests (ORRI) on production from new Na Kika tiebacks, subject to conditions.
• For 2025, Shell entitlement share of production from these assets was 37,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. According to Shell’s modeling, Na Kika and Coulomb will not be meaningful contributors to production by 2030.
• The deal includes buyers assuming certain decommissioning obligations and providing security with respect to such obligations.
• Shell Trading US Company will retain rights to offtake from Na Kika and Coulomb through negotiated agreements with the buyers.
• The Na Kika semi-submersible platform began producing in 2003. Production from the Coulomb tieback began in 2005.
• BP, as operator of Na Kika, holds the remaining 50% working interest in Na Kika.
• Shell proved reserves were 4.3 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) at the end of 2025 for Na Kika and 7.2 million boe at the end of 2025 for Coulomb.
• Shell’s Deep Water business is differentiated by its scale, efficiency, and infrastructure. Shell is the only international oil company with a leading portfolio position in both the Gulf of America and Brazil, two of the highest-margin and lowest-carbon production basins in the world.
• The US is a key market and a leading destination for Shell investment, with operations and interests in all 50 states. Shell is the leading deep-water operator and largest producer of oil and gas in the Gulf of America and one of the largest buyers of US LNG. Through our Trading & Supply network, we move US energy reliably—from power and low-carbon fuels to LNG and refined products—to customers nationwide and globally. Shell operates the largest branded fuel network in the United States, with about 12,000 Shell branded gas stations serving more than seven million customers daily. With more than 100 years in the US and more than 11,000 employees (as of January 23, 2026), Shell is delivering secure energy supplies and meeting the evolving needs of our customers today and into the future.

In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

Shell’s net carbon intensity and net-zero emissions target

In this press release we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries. 

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target. 

The information provided above regarding Shell’s NCI and net zero emissions target are not intended, nor should they be construed as introducing, suggesting or making any claim, target or representation thereof other than what is included in the press release. 

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

This press release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements. These forward-looking non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in understanding management’s use and expectations of such measures and may not be appropriate for other purposes. 

The contents of websites referred to in this press release do not form part of this press release.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this press release that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

THE NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL RELAUNCHES AS THE DIAMOND COLLECTIVE WITH A NEW STRATEGY TO REIGNITE DESIRE FOR NATURAL DIAMONDS

The Diamond Collective will unite the industry behind a shared ambition: reconnecting people with the rarity, meaning and enduring emotional power of diamonds.

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Natural Diamond Council becomes The Diamond Collective unveiling a new global strategy to reconnect natural diamonds with culture, strengthen consumer confidence and drive long-term relevancy.

Shaped by new CEO Amber Pepper following six months of consultation with producers, retailers, brands, creatives and consumers, the strategy responds to a fundamental shift in how people discover, value and buy luxury. It sets a clear ambition for The Diamond Collective: to reignite desire for natural diamonds and convert that desire into sustained demand.

The strategy connects culture, retail, trust, advocacy, digital discovery, partnerships and industry alignment through three priorities:

• UNITE – bring producers, retailers, brands, designers
  
  and new voices together around shared priorities for growth.
• PROTECT – strengthen consumer confidence through clarity, transparency and facts; challenge misinformation; and clearly differentiate diamonds 
  
  from synthetic diamonds.
• INSPIRE – create desire through culture, creativity and globally connected storytelling, with a clear path to consideration and purchase.

Together, these priorities signal a decisive shift: from defending the category to renewing desire; from isolated campaigns to a connected global growth programme; and from industry representation to shared action, investment and measurable commercial impact.

The strategy will come to life through a new generation of global programmes, including culturally relevant campaigns, a universal Trustmark, stronger origin and provenance narratives, renewed retailer and brand partnerships, and investment in AI and digital discovery. Further initiatives will strengthen evidence-led responses to misinformation, elevate producer nations and create new forums for collective industry leadership.

More details, alongside additional senior appointments, will be announced in the coming months.

A new Diamond Desire Index will measure whether the strategy is changing how consumers feel and act. Launching with a baseline across the US, India and China, it will track consideration, purchase intent, sentiment and recommendation, creating a consistent global view of desire for natural diamonds and supporting annual reporting on changes in behaviour and demand.

The strategy will also introduce a broader participation model, enabling organisations across the value chain to contribute expertise, perspective and support to shared priorities. This will give more of the industry a meaningful role in shaping and delivering the category’s long-term growth.

The new identity of The Diamond Collective will be the organisation’s public-facing name in most markets, while the Natural Diamond Council will remain its legal entity. The change is more than a rebrand: it represents a more ambitious way of working; consumer-first, evidence-led and collective by design.

Amber Pepper, CEO of The Diamond Collective, said:

“Natural diamonds are among the Earth’s rarest treasures, formed deep beneath its surface over billions of years. Each is entirely unique, yet their greatest value lies in the meaning we give them: the people, promises and moments we never want to forget.

“Since taking on this role, I have listened to people across our industry and beyond. Their insight, experience and belief in natural diamonds have shaped this strategy. What I have heard gives me enormous confidence in the opportunity ahead and a clear sense that we will only realise it by acting together.

“The Diamond Collective will build on that shared ambition: to bring the extraordinary story of natural diamonds into culture, strengthen trust in what makes them unique and inspire a new generation to choose them. This is how we will transform enduring emotional desire into lasting demand.”

For further details, please read the full strategy here.

About The Diamond Collective

The Diamond Collective* is a global, industry-funded not-for-profit dedicated to the future of natural diamonds. It brings together the people, stories and expertise behind natural diamonds to inspire desire, protect consumer confidence and unite the industry around a shared ambition: more people choosing natural diamonds, more often.

*The Diamond Collective operates under the legal entity Natural Diamond Council.

QubicaAMF and ROLLER Forge Long-Term Partnership to Shape the Future of the Bowling and Family Entertainment Industry

QubicaAMF and ROLLER announce their partnership and introduce Conqueror ROLLER, the all-in-one management solution for bowling and multi-attraction entertainment centers, which is already live with shared customers around the globe.

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QubicaAMF, the world’s largest bowling equipment and technology provider, and ROLLER, the leading venue management platform for modern attractions, today announced a long-term strategic partnership to shape the future of family entertainment. The partnership brings together two leaders in their respective industries around a shared vision for a unified guest experience with continued investment from both companies. Together, the two partners have developed Conqueror ROLLER, an all-in-one solution already live in bowling and entertainment centers across the globe, with continued innovation planned through their shared product roadmap.

Bowling is a $10 billion global industry, with more than 100 million people bowling each year across 125 countries. Traditional bowling centers are evolving into multi-attraction entertainment destinations, and operators are increasingly managing experiences that extend far beyond the lanes. Yet the technology powering those venues often remains fragmented, with separate systems for bowling operations, reservations, and other attractions.

“The bowling industry is in the middle of a major shift. Bowling remains at the heart of the venue, but operators are rapidly building broader entertainment experiences around it,” said Emanuele Govoni, CEO of QubicaAMF. “The technology powering these venues must bring bowling and other attractions together. QubicaAMF and ROLLER have formed a long-term partnership, and with a shared vision, we will continue to build what operators need to shape the next generation of family entertainment.”

At the center of the partnership is the Conqueror ROLLER solution, which unifies QubicaAMF’s Conqueror X bowling and lane management technology with ROLLER’s venue management platform. For operators, this solves a critical problem: combining bowling and multi-attraction management to unify the guest experience while making it easier for staff to delight guests. ROLLER can now power the full guest journey across a venue’s entertainment offerings, including lane management through QubicaAMF’s integrated technology.

“The best technology should make a complex venue feel simple to run and seamless for guests to experience,” said Luke Finn, CEO of ROLLER. “Together with QubicaAMF, we’ve created a solution that unifies the guest journey from the moment guests book their first game to every time they come back. This is a long-term commitment to our industry, and we will continue building what operators need next.”

A unified guest experience helps venues convert more bookings, increase revenue per guest, drive repeat visits, maximize lane utilization, and operate more efficiently by combining venue and attraction management with a complete on-lane entertainment ecosystem. Joint QubicaAMF and ROLLER customers are already seeing the impact:

• Lumos in Texas increased its share of revenue generated online by 5.5x.
• Queens in London increased multi-activity bookings by 64%.
• NIKITO, headquartered in Paris, went live in less than three months and saw 100% of staff prefer the new system.

Tenpin, one of the United Kingdom’s largest bowling operators, with 60 venues across the country, is bringing the joint QubicaAMF and ROLLER solution across its portfolio.

“Our vision is to create one seamless experience across all of our activities,” said Roy Whitmore, IT Director at Tenpin. “Unifying all of our activities with bowling is critical to achieving that goal. The joint solution from QubicaAMF and ROLLER is a major step forward in making that vision a reality, and we’re excited to bring it live across our portfolio of venues.”

Today’s announcement is the next step in a broader partnership, with QubicaAMF and ROLLER working from a shared product roadmap to sync more of the bowling and venue experience over time. Planned capabilities will bring more of the venue operation together, including waitlist management, in-game adjustments, and unified capacity management across all attractions.

To learn more about the integration, visit qubicaamfbowling.com/conqueror-roller or meet the teams at IAAPA Expo Europe at ExCeL London, September 21–25, 2026. Visit ROLLER at booth S3103 or QubicaAMF at booth S1806. A press conference will be held at the QubicaAMF booth S1806 from 3:50–4:10 p.m. on September 22.

THE NATURAL DIAMOND COUNCIL RELAUNCHES AS THE DIAMOND COLLECTIVE WITH A NEW STRATEGY TO REIGNITE DESIRE FOR NATURAL DIAMONDS

The Diamond Collective will unite the industry behind a shared ambition: reconnecting people with the rarity, meaning and enduring emotional power of diamonds.

LONDON, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Natural Diamond Council becomes The Diamond Collective unveiling a new global strategy to reconnect natural diamonds with culture, strengthen consumer confidence and drive long-term relevancy.

Shaped by new CEO Amber Pepper following six months of consultation with producers, retailers, brands, creatives and consumers, the strategy responds to a fundamental shift in how people discover, value and buy luxury. It sets a clear ambition for The Diamond Collective: to reignite desire for natural diamonds and convert that desire into sustained demand.

The strategy connects culture, retail, trust, advocacy, digital discovery, partnerships and industry alignment through three priorities:

• UNITE – bring producers, retailers, brands, designers
  
  and new voices together around shared priorities for growth.
• PROTECT – strengthen consumer confidence through clarity, transparency and facts; challenge misinformation; and clearly differentiate diamonds 
  
  from synthetic diamonds.
• INSPIRE – create desire through culture, creativity and globally connected storytelling, with a clear path to consideration and purchase.

Together, these priorities signal a decisive shift: from defending the category to renewing desire; from isolated campaigns to a connected global growth programme; and from industry representation to shared action, investment and measurable commercial impact.

The strategy will come to life through a new generation of global programmes, including culturally relevant campaigns, a universal Trustmark, stronger origin and provenance narratives, renewed retailer and brand partnerships, and investment in AI and digital discovery. Further initiatives will strengthen evidence-led responses to misinformation, elevate producer nations and create new forums for collective industry leadership.

More details, alongside additional senior appointments, will be announced in the coming months.

A new Diamond Desire Index will measure whether the strategy is changing how consumers feel and act. Launching with a baseline across the US, India and China, it will track consideration, purchase intent, sentiment and recommendation, creating a consistent global view of desire for natural diamonds and supporting annual reporting on changes in behaviour and demand.

The strategy will also introduce a broader participation model, enabling organisations across the value chain to contribute expertise, perspective and support to shared priorities. This will give more of the industry a meaningful role in shaping and delivering the category’s long-term growth.

The new identity of The Diamond Collective will be the organisation’s public-facing name in most markets, while the Natural Diamond Council will remain its legal entity. The change is more than a rebrand: it represents a more ambitious way of working; consumer-first, evidence-led and collective by design.

Amber Pepper, CEO of The Diamond Collective, said:

“Natural diamonds are among the Earth’s rarest treasures, formed deep beneath its surface over billions of years. Each is entirely unique, yet their greatest value lies in the meaning we give them: the people, promises and moments we never want to forget.

“Since taking on this role, I have listened to people across our industry and beyond. Their insight, experience and belief in natural diamonds have shaped this strategy. What I have heard gives me enormous confidence in the opportunity ahead and a clear sense that we will only realise it by acting together.

“The Diamond Collective will build on that shared ambition: to bring the extraordinary story of natural diamonds into culture, strengthen trust in what makes them unique and inspire a new generation to choose them. This is how we will transform enduring emotional desire into lasting demand.”

For further details, please read the full strategy here.

About The Diamond Collective

The Diamond Collective* is a global, industry-funded not-for-profit dedicated to the future of natural diamonds. It brings together the people, stories and expertise behind natural diamonds to inspire desire, protect consumer confidence and unite the industry around a shared ambition: more people choosing natural diamonds, more often.

*The Diamond Collective operates under the legal entity Natural Diamond Council.

1. Washington Summit to Focus on Global Peace and Economic Development With Mike Johnson

Washington, D.C. | September 22, 2026

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson will join Dr. K. A. Paul and leaders from around the world at the Global Peace and Economic Summit in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, September 23, in a global call for peace, humanitarian cooperation and collective action.

The summit, organised by Dr. K. A. Paul, Founder of the Global Peace Initiative, will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, D.C. The gathering will bring together political leaders, business representatives, humanitarian organisations, faith leaders, community representatives and peace advocates from different parts of the world.

Speaker Mike Johnson has appeared alongside Dr. Paul in videos inviting global leaders, citizens and the international community to participate in the summit. In the messages, Speaker Johnson has spoken about his longstanding awareness of Dr. Paul’s humanitarian and Christian ministry work, dating back to the 1990s, including Dr. Paul’s association with Promise Keepers and speaking engagements connected with the Southern Baptist Convention.

The summit comes at a time when armed conflicts and humanitarian crises continue to affect millions of people across the world. Dr. Paul is using the platform to call on leaders to move beyond political, religious and national differences and work collectively toward peaceful solutions.

The initiative has set a goal of addressing 58 ongoing wars and encouraging greater international cooperation in conflict resolution and humanitarian relief. Dr. Paul has emphasised that peace cannot be achieved through governments alone and requires the participation of communities, civil society organisations, businesses, religious institutions and humanitarian groups.

A major focus of the summit will be the human impact of conflict. Discussions will highlight the challenges faced by displaced families and communities affected by violence, including access to food, healthcare, shelter, education and other essential services. The initiative will also explore opportunities for international partnerships in humanitarian assistance, relief and long-term community development.

Dr. Paul brings more than four decades of experience in humanitarian outreach, peace advocacy and international community mobilisation. Through his various organisations and initiatives, he has worked to build networks across countries, religions and communities around the principles of service, peace and cooperation.

Over the past 45 years, Dr. Paul has participated in and organised major peace and humanitarian gatherings across 155 countries. His work has included large-scale public campaigns, community outreach and leadership initiatives aimed at encouraging people to take an active role in peacebuilding and social service. Through the Global Peace Initiative, he has also worked to train millions of lay leaders for greater public participation in peace and humanitarian efforts.

The theme of the Washington summit is collective action beyond caste, creed and religion. Dr. Paul has invited people from diverse backgrounds to come together around a shared commitment to peace, humanitarian responsibility and cooperation.
With Speaker Johnson joining the gathering, the summit is expected to provide an important platform for dialogue between political, community, humanitarian and faith leaders. The organisers hope the discussions will encourage practical partnerships and renewed international attention to communities affected by war and conflict.

The Global Peace and Economic Summit will take place on Wednesday, September 23, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, D.C.
