Three countries. Three regulatory regimes. Three sets of reports.

Fura Gems operates responsibly sourced gemstone mining across three continents — emerald in Mozambique, ruby in Madagascar, and sapphire in Australia. Each country brings its own regulatory regime, its own operational reporting requirements, its own currency, and its own ESG framework.

The group HSE and operations function had to consolidate three completely separate operational pictures into one for board, investor, and CFO consumption. ESG reporting added another layer — Fura's positioning as a responsibly sourced gemstone producer requires verifiable environmental, safety, and labour practice data across every site.

  • Three countries, three regulatory regimes — operational data structured differently
  • ESG reporting consolidation manual, slow, and risk of inconsistency
  • Site supervisors and group CFO seeing different data — different sources of truth
  • Safety oversight across three time zones — group HSE function difficult to operate

One Cortex instance. Group-level visibility. Site-level granularity.

Cognecto deployed one Cortex instance covering all three Fura operations — with workgroup-level data separation per site, regulatory reporting templates per country, and group-level consolidation views that combine the three into board and investor formats.

Photon Vision AI for HSE compliance runs across all three sites with one safety dashboard. ESG metrics flow into one consolidation layer that produces board reporting from verified ground-truth data.

"That cross-continental visibility is what Zero Harm requires."

Fura's group HSE Director and group CFO now operate from the same verified operational intelligence — across three continents, three regulatory regimes, and three operational realities. Site-level granularity for the engineers who run each mine. Group-level consolidation for the executives accountable for the whole.

The numbers behind the story.

Cross-continental safety watch
"Bauxite and gemstone mining involves heavy excavators, haul trucks, and on-foot workers in close proximity every shift across three continents. Photon monitors every crane swing radius and geofenced hazard zone across all our operations simultaneously. Our safety directors in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Australia all see the same command dashboard. That cross-continental visibility is what Zero Harm requires."
