Villeroy & Boch

• 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.
• Modern slavery statement
• Makes part of its range in its own factories
• "Made in Germany" 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 Villeroy & Boch says its Dining & Lifestyle porcelain is made at two company-owned plants in Germany, Merzig and Torgau; glassware, cutlery and home accessories are bought from suppliers whose countries are not disclosed, and no production shares are published. It runs supplier risk checks under Germany's supply chain law and asks for recent social audits from high-risk suppliers, but publishes no supplier list, audit results or living wage commitment. No labour abuses tied to its tableware have been reported. Germany is shown alone because it is the only country named for Villeroy & Boch.
