Fura Gems — three mines, three continents, one Cortex instance.

Three countries. Three regulatory environments. 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 picture 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. Manual collection of this data across three continents created reporting delays, inconsistency, and risk that what was reported didn't match what was happening.

• 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
• Currency conversion, shift overlap, and reporting cycles further complicate consolidation

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 — safety incidents, environmental events, workforce safety — 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. One Cortex instance, three operations, one source of truth.
