Chasseur
Partly verifiedChasseur isn't doing enough to protect workers: its supply chain isn't independently checked, and it publishes no certifications or supplier information. It does have some safeguards, as most of its goods are made in France, where legal wages are close to a living wage.

Not doing enough. Workers in the supply chain are likely underpaid, unprotected or in danger, and in the worst cases face forced or child labour. Look for a better-graded alternative. What this grade means
Good: 3 of 5
- Pays a living wage
- Respects worker rights
- Full supply chain audit, or made only in countries with rigorous labour standards
- No child or forced labour findings
- Publishes where its products are made (supplier list, named farms or its own factories)
Great: 0 of 3
- Pays beyond a living wage
- Finds and fixes problems, or invests directly in workers' communities
- Actively empowers workers
Needs all Good requirements plus two of these.
Red flags: 1
- Hidden or unaudited supply chain (no certification or documentation, or major production in countries with poor worker rights without independent audits)
Where it's made
| Country | Worker rights | Legal wages | Forced labour risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| France 85% | Strong protections | Close to a living wage | Low |
| China 15% | Systematic violations | Below a living wage | Moderate |
Country conditions from the ITUC Global Rights Index, Global Slavery Index and living wage benchmarks. Certifications and audits can raise a company above its countries' baseline.
Why this grade
- Timber, cotton textiles and ceramics carry moderate raw-material risk; illegal logging is linked to forced labour in some regions.
Chasseur's enamelled cast iron is made at the Invicta foundry and enamelling plant in Donchery, in the Champagne-Ardenne region of northern France, where cast iron has been produced since 1924. Some non-cast-iron Chasseur lines sold in Australia, such as the Cinq Etoiles non-stick frypan, are made in China; the brand does not publish how much of its range comes from each country, so the shares shown are estimates. No supplier list, modern slavery statement or labour policy is published for the brand.
