Australian brand of heaters and fans.
There's no proof Omega Altise pays more than the legal minimum, which in China is below a living wage, and it has no full independent audit.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 2 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 2 of 6
- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

- Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
- Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list

- Modern slavery statement
Research notes Omega Altise heaters and fans are made by contract suppliers in Asia, with Australian retail listings giving China as country of origin. Shriro names no factories and gives no production shares. Its FY25 modern slavery statement rates China as an elevated-risk sourcing country and reports supplier risk assessments and the start of supplier audits, but publishes no findings, reports no cases needing remediation and says nothing about Xinjiang or living wages.
