The Fair Stone Standard was approved in November 2007 at the first conference of the advisory board.
The standard is based on rules and standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO) as well as the local law. Goods labeled by Fair Stone are free from child labour and forced labour. Furthermore, production units are engaged in a process of improvement in the field of labour security and health of their workers.
Therefore the Fair Stone standard takes into
consideration environmental, economic and social aspects to
provide a sustainable improvement of the working conditions of
the employees in the natural stone quarries and factories.
The improvements are monitored and supported by local Fair Stone
Representatives and by international experts.
The implementation is documented via a Step by Step
Implementation Manual, regular reports and the tracking system Tracing Fair Stone.
In our point of view fair trade is based on transparency, dialogue and mutual respect.
Our Fair Stone partners and suppliers
contribute to global responsibility by implementing the Fair
Stone criteria within their supply chain and thus improve the
working conditions in a step by step process.
