Evidence
What we found
- Owns or runs its own production
- "Made in France" 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
- Doesn't show where its timber comes from. Timber is linked to illegal logging linked to forced labour, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
- Uses leather in only a few products and doesn't show where it comes from. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
Research notes Ligne Roset makes about 83% of its production at five group-owned industrial sites in France, in the Ain region around its Briord headquarters; it does not say where the rest is made. French factory staff work under French labour law, and the group runs its own upholstery and sewing school at Montagnieu. It publishes no supplier list, supplier code of conduct, audit results or information on timber or leather sources.
