Australian brand selling budget ovens, cooktops and appliances.

There's no proof Euromaid pays more than the legal minimum, which in China and Türkiye is below a living wage, and it has no full independent audit.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency

  • Not met: Meets 2 of 6 Good requirements.
  • Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and unaudited production in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
  • It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
  • Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

How grades are decided


Good requirements 2 of 6

  • Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

  • Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards
  • Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
  • Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list
  • Met: High-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) traced or certified, or not a major part of its rangeNone recorded in a major share of its range

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.
  • Modern slavery statement

Research notes Euromaid does not make its own appliances or say who makes them. Retailer listings give Turkey as the country of origin for its ovens and cooktops and China for its fridges and washing machines. Owner Glen Dimplex Australia files modern slavery statements: it assessed 76% of its 200+ direct suppliers, has 88% signed up to its supplier code, is joining Sedex and plans audits of 10 high-risk suppliers in 2025-26. It publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment.
