In the last few years the Chinese natural stone industry has increasingly come into the public spotlight as a result of poor working and environmental conditions. As a result, municipalities in several European countries, including Sweden and the Netherlands, have started to include sustainability criteria in their procurement processes. In this context, sustainability refers to the observation of certain labour, environmental and ethical standards during all stages of the supply chain. Some Chinese suppliers have already started to improve production conditions during the past years as well.
