Evidence
What we found
- No high-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) are recorded in a major share of its range, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good.
- Owns or runs its own production
- "Made in Italy" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, materials and parts such as fabric, timber, glass, metal and ceramics can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good.
Research notes Edra designs and makes its sofas at its own plant in Perignano, Tuscany, where staff handle every stage of manufacturing, largely by hand. It says it chooses outside collaborators carefully but publishes no supplier list, supplier code of conduct, audit results, sustainability report or living wage commitment, and gives no detail on where its materials come from.
