Our ethical commitment
At Stoneasy we believe in sustainable long-term business. We want to prosper together with our customers, employees and suppliers, but equally with those who work at the very bottom of the supply chain. More than simply engaging in philanthropy, we feel responsible for all stakeholders involved in the process of quarrying, producing and trading our product. We will continue to strive for ethical and sustainable trading on a variety of geographical and social fronts.
OUR VISION: EVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO GOOD EDUCATION AND TO ENJOY CHILDHOODNo Child Left Behind
Our vision: no child is left behind; meaning that no child should be working and every child has the right to a good education and the right to enjoy childhood.
The Indian Sandstone cobble industry is tarnished with stories of poor working conditions, bad labour practices and endemic child labour. While these issues do exist, they are not the whole story. Local people, NGO’s and a number of companies, are working tirelessly to improve the lives of people who work in and around the natural stone industry. Numerous positive, community lead initiatives are taking place.
We write this blog to share the good news stories coming out of this program: creating ’Child Labour Free Zones’ in Budhpura.
