Maker of custom blinds, shutters, curtains and awnings.
We couldn't confirm where it makes the rest, and most homewares and appliances are made in countries such as China and Vietnam, where the legal minimum is below a living wage.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 4 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
- 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.
Good requirements 4 of 6
- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence
- Met: Respects worker rights
- Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards

Evidence
What we found
- Uses cotton and timber in only a few products, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good. It doesn't show where they come from. The "Open supply chain" star needs all of them traced, certified or upcycled.
- Owns or runs its own production
- Modern slavery statement
Research notes Many Luxaflex blinds, shutters and awnings sold in Australia are made in Hunter Douglas' own Australian factories at Rydalmere (NSW), which also weaves fabrics, Yatala (QLD) and Keilor Park (VIC), and some carry the Australian Made logo; the brand does not say what share of its range is made locally or which lines are imported. Components, fabrics, motors and timber come from about 600 local and overseas suppliers, whose countries are not disclosed. The group screens suppliers through Exiger and EcoVadis and reported no significant issues in 2025, but has mapped only direct suppliers and admits it has not yet measured whether its checks work.
