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.
- Owns or runs its own production
- "Made in the Netherlands" 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.
Research notes Every Moccamaster is assembled and tested by hand at Technivorm's own factory in Amerongen, the Netherlands, where about 150 of its roughly 200 staff work under Dutch labour law. The company says it sources materials in Europe, and the Netherlands where possible, but names no component suppliers or countries for the 100-plus parts in each machine, and publishes no supplier code, audits or modern slavery statement.
