Cosentino improves standards in the natural stone industry

In 2018 Cosentino Latina Vitória, Cosentino's industrial complex in Brazil, has demonstrated their own operations are in line with Level 1 of the TFT guidelines for extractive sites.

TFT (The forest Trust) is a non-profit organisation that helps companies in the private sector transform their supply chains for the benefit of people and nature. For the Cosentino Group, a key priority is to ensure the raw materials used in its products are extracted according to the most rigorous quality standards while respecting human rights and the environment.  

Natural Stone Commitment by Cosentino

With this objective in mind, in 2016, Cosentino launched its project "Natural Stone Commitment by Cosentino", which promotes the extraction and manufacturing of natural stone while conserving the environment and improving living standards for those who works in quarries and natural stone plants. Since that very moment, the Cosentino Group, together with the TFT, has visited the Cosentino processing unit of Latina Vitória (Brazil), some of the largest quarries Cosentino is working with in Brazil and the processing plant of Rainbow Stone (India) to ensure the objectives of the "Natural Stone Commitment by Cosentino" are met. The primary objective of the "Natural Stone Commitment by Cosentino" project is to work over time with our supply chain to encourage the human and labour rights standards to be respected and improved.
