ARE was born from a conviction: that it is possible to articulate the Colombian emerald value chain with integrity, transparency and a deep respect for its origin. We are an organization built on decades of experience, designed to create shared value and transform an industry.
ARE's strength is built on experience, access and a vision for the future. These figures represent the foundations of our model.
ARE was not born as a mere business, but as the answer to a challenge: how can we honor the true value of the Colombian emerald, dignifying those who extract it and offering radical transparency to the market? Our mission is to redefine this industry from within.
Our alliance with 1,200 leading mining families is the heart of our model. It is a relationship forged over decades of trust, allowing us to operate from the origin, ensuring fair dealing and unprecedented access. We are not intermediaries — we are an integral part of the legacy.
Every operation, every alliance and every decision we make is guided by this purpose: to create an ecosystem where value is shared, trust is the primary currency, and the success of those who take part in our businesses drives the sustainable development of the communities that make all of this possible.
Our Essence:
Purpose, Experience and Legacy.
We believe true value is value that is shared. Our business model is designed so that the success of every operation directly drives the sustainable development of communities and the protection of the ecosystem that gives us our origin.
We ensure fair dealing and direct collaboration with mining families, strengthening their autonomy and legacy.
We promote responsible mining practices that seek to minimize impact and protect the territory's biodiversity.
We allocate resources to developing technologies that strengthen the sovereignty and growth of local communities.
Fifty percent of our profits are reinvested in impact projects, creating a virtuous circle of shared prosperity.
