Becoming Partner - step by step
The Fair Stone Team starts a close dialogue with any European natural stone importer interested in Fair Stone to create a mutual trust basis. The cooperation and implementation of the Fair Stone Standard are explained. If mutual understanding exists a standardized cooperation contract is signed. Part of the contract are the General Terms and Conditions/GTCs, the Fair Stone Standard as well as the Supplier Agreement.

After at least 1 Supply chain is registered and the initial registration audits have been passed, the Fair Stone certificate is issued which states the registered stone materials and products and is firstly valid for one year. The certificate confirms the compliance of the Partner and the Supplier with the FS BASIC Y1 criterias as well the willingness to implement the Fair Stone standard step by step.
The Fair Stone Partners are responsible to implement the Fair Stone Standard in cooperation with their suppliers. The Fair Stone Team supervises this process, coordinates audits and control vists and the local representative supports the implementation
