Benefits for companies and customers: Advantages for all!
Companies are in a strong community of interests
- Each member company supports our work against inhumane conditions of production in the member establishments in the exporting countries.
- Each member company supports social activities on site.
- A strong community against distortion of competition.
- A strong community against the threatening ban of materials from Asia, especially from India and China, and also from Latin America and Africa.
- Use of consistent and reliable certification standards through the promotion of the label “IGEP”. This certifies that companies provide customers the security to get “clean” products from regularly audited quarries and processing enterprises and to automatically assist social projects through their purchases.
- Support and financial assistance in legal disputes to protect the IGN’s purpose and objective.
- Promoting and preserving the German cemetery culture.
Customers provide for social projects with every purchase.
Each purchase at a member firm of IGN directly supports social projects for the benefit of needy children. The members of IGN have voluntarily committed themselves to provide 0.75% of the export value for the improvement of the living conditions in the quarry areas in addition to 0.25% coming from the exporters. Decent working conditions to ensure the future of children that is what we are standing for!
