Evidence
What we found
- Uses timber in only a few products, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good. It traces or certifies most of its timber. The "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
- Shows where its earlier production stages happen (materials and components), and they're in low-risk countries or independently audited
Research notes Magis assembles products at its Torre di Mosto plant and has partner firms nearby make most of them; its 2024 sustainability report says over 98% of purchases and processing come from Italian suppliers, 73% of them in Veneto. It says most wood it uses is FSC certified and trained staff check suppliers' working conditions, but it publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment. Most products are plastic or metal. No labour abuses have been reported.
