JNA 40th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL JNA 40周年专题报道 46 | JNA September/October 2023 Gemfields CEO Sean Gilbertson’s pioneering and innovative spirit has led to major milestones in the business of coloured gemstones, specifically in Africa where the miner operates. He considers the establishment of a consistent, transparent and responsible source of emeralds and rubies from Africa among his top achievements as this is paving the way for sustained demand for these gemstones. Gilbertson is also proud of Gemfields’ groundbreaking auction system that allows gemstone-hosting nations to sell their goods on the wider global market at the maximum available price, and then see 100 per cent of the international value repatriated directly to miners in the host country. “This means there is no offshore profiteering and that full taxes are paid in the country of origin,” he explained. “Host governments can monitor auction developments and bidding results at the same time as Gemfields.” Another feather in his cap is the introduction of G-Factor for Natural Resources, which reveals what percentage of a mine’s revenue was paid to a host country as corporate tax, mineral royalty or dividends. For instance, since Gemfields acquired the Kagem emerald mine in 2008, 18 per cent of revenues were remunerated to Zambia while 23 per cent of the Montepuez ruby mine’s sales were given to Mozambique since 2011 when Gemfields bought 75 per cent of the mine. Gilbertson also takes pride in Gemfields’ education and healthcare projects in Mozambique and Zambia. “Words cannot describe the impact of seeing a child in a remote area using the Internet for the first time or of a mother being able to access medical care courtesy of a mobile clinic,” he noted. Gemfields首席执行官Sean Gilbertson的领先和开创精神，让他在彩色宝 石业务上立下了重大的里程碑，特别是在非洲营运矿场方面。 Gilbertso視建立了一致、透明和负责任的非洲祖母绿和红宝石来源 为他首要的成就，因为有关举措支持了市场对这些宝石的持续需求。 Gilbertson还为Gemfields的开创性拍卖系统感到自豪。该系统允许宝石所在 国家于更广泛的市场上，以最高价格出售他们的产品，然后将100%的国际价值 直接回馈给所在国家的矿工。 他解释说：“这意味着没有离岸牟利，所有税款都由原产国支付。”“宝石所属 国的政府更可以与Gemfields同时监控拍卖进展和投标结果。” 另一项成就是引入天然资源G因子，它显示了矿山收入中作为企业税、矿产 使用费或股息支付给宝石所在国家的百分比。 例如，自Gemfields于2008年收购Kagem祖母绿矿场以来，18%的收入用来 回馈赞比亚，而自Gemfields于2011年购买了75%的蒙特普埃茲红宝石矿场以 来，23%的销售额用来回馈莫桑比克。 Gilbertson还为Gemfields在莫桑比克和赞比亚的教育和医疗项目感到自豪。 他指出：“无法用言语来描述当看到偏远地区的小孩第一次使用互联网或一位 母亲能够通过流动诊所获得医疗服务的影响。” Sean Gilbertson is behind some of the most impactful developments in the coloured gemstone trade, owing to a growth mindset that champions innovation, goodwill and transparency. Sean Gilbertson是彩色宝石 贸易发展中佼佼不群的人物，这要 归因于他倡导创新、商誉和透明度 的增长思维。 Sean Gilbertson CEO, Gemfields 首席执行官 Executive Chairman, Fabergé Fabergé执行主席 Fostering an advocacy-led leadership 培养以倡导为先的领导力
