The entire Livingstone range of natural stone products that Westminster Stone offers is sourced from members of the Ethical Trade Initiative, and we believe is as ethically and environmentally friendly as it is possible to be when sourcing from developing countries.

Ethical trade means that retailers, brands and their suppliers take responsibility for improving the working conditions of the people who make the products they sell. Most of these workers are employed by supplier companies around the world, many of them based in poor countries where laws designed to protect workers' rights are inadequate or not enforced.

Companies with a commitment to ethical trade adopt a code of labour practice that they expect all their suppliers to work towards. Such codes address issues like wages, hours of work and basic health and safety.

Manufactured using at least 75% recyled materials, processed and transported with what we believe to be the smallest carbon footprint possible. Watch this space....!
