We believe that strategies based on industry-focused collaboration among multiple stakeholders and within a coherent framework hold the greatest promise for creating supportive, enabling environments that ultimately will result in improved labor and environmental standards in global supply chains.

GSI's impact will be substantially greater as it is implemented within a coherent, industry-focused strategy that seeks to engage multiple stakeholders in collaborative
efforts. Thus, collaborative initiatives can be used to achieve the full range of options including (a) efforts to set, extend, and enforce standards; (b) capacity building; (c) worker education and engagement; and (d) development and implementation of economic incentives for good practices.

GS strongly believes that all the stakeholders should be involved in natural stone industry wide efforts to improve environment and labor conditions:
1) Architects - Specifiers
2) Buyers (Project buyers, wholesale and retail buyers)
3) Quarries and factories
4) Workers
5) Inspectors
6) Exporting and Importing country trade and government organizations
