This entry is in review — facts are authored but not yet verified against current issuer documentation.

What it proves

Suppliers registered under the Fair Stone international social standard implement ILO core labour conventions — no child or forced labour, occupational health and safety, and basic working conditions — in natural-stone quarries and processing factories, with implementation progress verified through independent audits and programme traceability.

What it does not prove

  • Environmental impacts of quarrying — land use, water, dust, energy, or transport emissions are not assessed.
  • Stone quality, technical performance, or geographic origin beyond the audited supply chain.
  • Fair-trade pricing or premium payments — Fair Stone is a labour-conditions standard, not a price scheme.
  • That a newly registered Fair Stone Partner's whole supply chain is already fully audited — implementation is staged.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Fair Stone uses a step-by-step implementation model — distinguish a registered Partner early in implementation from a supply chain that has passed independent audits.

Coverage applies to the specific quarries and factories in the registered chain, not to every product the trader sells.
