The Dutch and Flemish natural stone sector have reached agreements with the Dutch and Flemish governments, NGOs and trade unions concerning the more responsible production and purchase of natural stone. The programme has been given the name ‘TruStone Initiative’.
Under TruStone initiative many suppliers and buyers work within the same framework to tackle problem across multiple dimensions in the production and supply chain of the natural stone in high-risk areas. This process helps in building common understanding to take actions for protection of human rights, labour and environmental protocols
The Sustainability Forum on Natural Stone (SFNS) is a non-for-profit multi-stakeholder initiative founded in 2013 with the mission of creating an eco-system to address the voice of Rajasthan's most vulnerable and marginalised mine workers and developing an inclusive and sustainable road map for the natural stone sector.
