Responsible sourcing

Last updated: 12 October 2026

Parts of India's stone industry have a record of child labour and bonded labour. Buyers are right to ask about it, and some are required by law to check. Here is our policy, what we actually do, and what we can show you.

Our policy

We do not accept child labour, forced labour or bonded labour anywhere in our supply chain. That covers our own yard, the quarries we buy from and the processors who cut and finish stone for us.

The policy follows ILO Conventions 29 and 105 on forced labour and 138 and 182 on child labour, and Indian law, including the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976 and the Mines Act, 1952, which bars anyone under 18 from working in a mine.

The full policy, signed by Satish Yadav, Proprietor, on 12 October 2026, is available on request.

What we do

• Every quarry and processor we buy from signs our supplier code, which includes this policy, before we place an order with them.
• We source from quarries across India, and we visit the quarries supplying an order 3 to 4 times during that order.
• If we find a breach, we stop buying from that supplier until it is fixed, and we stop buying from them completely if needed.

These are our checks, not a guarantee. No buyer can rule out every breach in a supply chain, and we will tell you plainly if we find one that affects your goods.

What we can give you

On request, for a confirmed Order:

• a copy of our signed policy and supplier code
• the region and, where the supplier agrees, the quarry the stone comes from
• the signed supplier code for the suppliers on your Order

Certification

We do not hold third-party certification for labour standards. If your project or the law in your country requires certified stone, tell us when you ask for a Quote and we will say honestly whether we can supply it.

Report a concern

If you have information about labour abuse linked to our supply chain, email info@aravaliexports.in. You can stay anonymous. We look into every report.
