Village Stones @ Source, "Sumber Batu Kampung" Note: This project has been cancelled, because not all of the planned project activities have been carried out.Main activities of the applicant Landvorm B.V. are marketing and sales of natural stones and wall and floor cladding of which the local partner PT Stones of Eden does the production and development. Mr Nooijen is director/owner of both companies. PT Stones of Eden is a foreign investment company.Applicant and local partner have been developing, producing and marketing high-end natural stone floor and wall tiles based on a unique and patented technology. The stones tiles industry procures its raw material throughout Indonesia, often from anonymous suppliers and resources. PT Stones of Eden experiences limited flexibility in material choice from current sources.Therefore, Herman Nooijen aims to focus on additional, existing sources that are not used for this market segment yet. He sees ample opportunities in sourcing from different existing sources for new raw material. The aim is to develop new products with new designs from these raw materials and to invest in the sourcing and traceability of these materials.The proposed PSI project intends to set up an efficient supply and production chain involving three villages to collect raw material at source and to pre-process these stones according to the specifications of PT Stones of Eden. In Bandung a central processing facility will be set up with state of the art facilities.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)IDH (Initiatief Duurzame Handel) has developed a multi-stakeholder programme to address major issues with respect to poor environmental and labour conditions in the natural stone business. The project partners are interested to cooperate in this programme.The project partners will focus on safety measures at workplaces. A health and safety officer will be appointed to monitor potentially hazardous areas and suggest preventative measures. Workers are trained in the basic requirements of occupational health and safety, relevant health protection and first aid.With the village heads clear agreements will be made, also with regard to child labour.Impact•	Employment and working conditionsDuring the project 110 jobs will be created of which 16 on medium-/high-level.The partners implement standards for sound working conditions, non-discrimination, health issues and educational opportunities.•	Innovation / Transfer of knowledgeThe project heavily invests in human capacity. For the first time in Indonesia processing capacity at three villages will be implemented and at a central processing plant. For this new approach staff and management will have to be trained as well as the village people. Training will focus on quality control, stone pre-processing at the source and in the factory.•	Chain effectsFor sourcing of raw material the partners will contract 75 villagers in three different villages. Agreements will be made with the local authorities with regard to quantities of supply, prices, child labour and an active coordinating role of village heads.•	EnvironmentRaw material will be sourced from existing quarries. There are many ongoing projects in Indonesia, for instance the construction of dikes for which companies need rock fill that is dug from quarries. This rock fill contains plenty of valuable raw material. For these locations permits have been issued by the Indonesian government. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be executed during the project.•	Position of womenAt least 60% of the employees will be female both in basic-level jobs as in medium-/high-level jobs. The purpose of the project is to export 20 containers of natural stone tiles.
