About us
XertifiX stands for …
- fair produced natural stones from Asia
- better working conditions in factories and quarries
- Independent and unannounced inspections in Asian manufacturing facilities
- the commitment to disadvantaged working families and their children
- the assistance of affected child laborers
Our Goal
Fair and decent produced natural stones from Asia!
Unique approach
In the factories (quarries and processing) we first determine the status quo. Then the producers have the chance to gradually improve.
The label comes in two categories: XertifiX Standard and XertifiX PLUS.
Our team
Fair work for the parents + good schools = future for the children
Fair and decent produced natural stones from Asia are feasible!
Ban on child labor without help for children is cynical!
Our traders
Child labour
How to combat child labor and slave labor? Prohibitions alone do not help. You have to start much wider. Those who pay unfair wages, those who ignore health and safety, who allow unsafe working conditions, risk sickness and undersupply of workers and promotes the cycle of poverty, poor education and poor job prospects.
In addition, child labor not only harms the children themselves because they can not attend school or graduate. As children’s labor supply increases, the pressure on adult wages increases. They are all the more easily extortionable with lowest wages.
Recommendation
The Federal Government to XertifiX:
“Good choice! This seal meets our credibility and social requirements” (www.siegelklarheit.de)
