We believe that the environmental impact of sourcing extractive products should be minimised, and that the industry should benefit the lives of the people working in quarries and factories. We work on the ground, with sites throughout the supply chain, to help them improve working conditions and develop solutions to the challenges of the extractive industries.
TFT recently conducted informal visits to two factories in Shandong Province, China and was pleased to see that there has been up to 95% progress on recommendations from the previous visit.
That means both factories have now achieved Level 1 of the TFT Responsible Stone Programme, and one is 75% towards reaching Level 2!
To further support and encourage sites to take ownership of their increasing working practices and standards, TFT will be conducting ‘cluster visits’ of sites in the north and south of India throughout 2017.
Starting in April, the first visit will take place in the Bijolia Belt of sandstone factories and quarries in Rajasthan. In addition to visiting these sites, TFT will also liaise with local NGOs and projects.
A further visit to the granite factories and quarries of Ongole in southern India will take place later this spring.
