Five IKEA suppliers suspend purchase of Grigeo Klaipeda products
Representatives of IKEA in the Baltic states told the company decided to suspend all purchases from Grigeo Klaipeda, meaning that five non-identified IKEA suppliers in Lithuania are suspending cooperation with Grigeo Klaipeda.
"We are treating this information very seriously," IKEA told. "All suppliers are audited, with prior notice or without, to ensure that they are sticking to our requirements. Moreover, IKEA suppliers must comply with local legislation and act responsibly while treating chemical waste."
