International RBC TruStone Initiative

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’.

Why the TruStone Initiative

In Asia, Africa and Latin America, natural stone is often extracted and processed in conditions that violate human rights and labour rights, and cause harm to the environment. The natural stone sector in Flanders and in the Netherlands has taken the joint initiative to tackle this situation.
