Hello, and welcome.
We are so pleased that you could join us today

Transformation.
For nearly a century, we have been passionately driven

intention and relevance.
Back in June, at the JCK show in Las Vegas,
we made an announcement about the future
of our trusted grading reports, an announcement that we
are converting all GIA paper reports to a digital form
by 2025.
We shared a glimpse into our future
and how GIA is working to better serve you and your customers.
Take a look.

What do you see?
A mountain?
A rainforest?
A bay?
We see the world's greatest treasures.
Since 1931, we have protected consumers
with our trusted research, standards, and reports.
Now, we want to protect the very planet that offers us
the treasures we love.
It's time.
We are taking all GIA reports digital by 2025.
It starts here.
It starts with us.
It starts with the GIA Diamond Dossier going digital in 2023.
Your report will contain the same trusted data
in its most secure format ever.
We will revolutionize how the world knows and experiences
diamonds.
Together, we can make a lasting impact.
Fold up your paper to unfold the future.
Digital reports from GIA build on our decades of innovation
and will advance our consumer protection mission forward.
This important transformation allows GIA to offer consumers
a truly modern experience while helping our industry
progress toward a more sustainable future.
The conversion of all GIA reports to digital form
will save over 20 tons of paper, and 18 and 1/2 tons of plastic
each and every year, reducing storage and transportation
costs and all related carbon emissions.
This is important progress we are proud of and excited about.
So today, we focus on what is ahead of us
in the very near future.
On January 2, 2023, we start our digital transformation
with the conversion of the Diamond Dossier
to a digital form.
Today, we want to introduce to you
all of the tools that we will make available to you
so you can transition to the digital version of the Diamond
Dossier seamlessly and effectively.
Over the next few minutes, we're going
to answer some of the most frequently asked questions
about the conversion of the Diamond Dossier
from paper to digital form.
We will also have a live Q&A available in the chat
with our team standing by to answer your questions.
Please, do not hesitate to engage with us.
Let's start with a reminder of the formal transition date.
All GIA Diamond Dossiers will be fully digital
starting January 2, 2023.
We know this is a big change, and in speaking
with so many of our value clients,
here are a few more questions that you
might be asking as you prepare your business
for this transition.

You can access your Digital Diamond Dossier
in three simple ways.
First is through the all new GIA app
where you can view, save, and even send your GIA Diamond
Dossier.
The GIA app is fully redesigned and is now
available for download through your favorite App Store.
Second is Report Check access through GIA's website
where you can always access the Diamond Dossier
and all other Gea reports third is through GIA's API services.
These data-sharing services are utilized by IT professionals
to integrate trusted trading results into your systems,
like an inventory management system or your website.

A report access card containing a QR code
that links directly to the digital report
will be available for download.
It will also contain your report number and limited 4Cs
information for your diamond designed.
Specifically for use at point-of-sale or post-purchase,
this digital asset is available for use on receipts, invoices,
or in e-commerce and can be accessed in two ways.
First is Report Check.
When a user accesses a GIA Diamond Dossier via Report
Check, they can view and download
a PDF of the full report and the report access card.
Second is through API services.
Both the full report and the report access card
are available data points via API.

While clients will no longer receive
the printed version of the Diamond Dossier,
should you require a paper report option,
such as a reprint on an old report,
you may upgrade to a GIA diamond grading report.

The return dates and the cost of the report
will remain the same for every stone submitted.
We will continue to use GIA's groundbreaking research
and unbiased grading to deliver this trusted diamond data,
now in its digital form.
