Evidence

What we found

  • Passes the raw-material check for homewares and appliances: traces or certifies its timber.
  • Owns or runs its own production
  • "Made in Australia" 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. Source
  • Uses leather in only a few products and traces or certifies most of it. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
  • Traces or certifies most but not all of its timber. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.

Research notes Jardan makes its furniture to order in its own factory in Scoresby, Melbourne, with a team of more than 200, and Monocle reported that it makes nearly all of its products itself. It says some materials, components and specialist products come from overseas but gives no share or countries, and does not say where its rugs, lighting and smaller homewares are made. In FY24, 56% of its furniture timber and 64% of its leather was bought certified (schemes not named). It publishes no supplier list or supplier code.
