- During the review of Russian and Belarusian products that we still have in stock, there was a mistake on the part of our employee.He decided that since we are not buying OSB boards from Russia, we should change the country of origin to Poland.This product is also supplied by Polish suppliers and, importantly, with the same technical parameters.The descriptions of the three products that were incorrectly changed have now been corrected and contain the correct information.We are very sorry that this situation has arisen, it should not have happened.Our goal was not to mislead anyone, declares Leroy Merlin.The network reminds that the unequivocal decision to terminate cooperation with suppliers from Russia and Belarus was made by the Management Board of Leroy Merlin Polska on March 2, 2022 and is constantly and fully valid.- Such action was and is an expression of our solidarity with Ukraine and its inhabitants, which we express both as Leroy Merlin Polska and as 13,000 employees of our network in our daily activities.Pursuant to this decision from March, after breaking cooperation with suppliers from Russia and Belarus, we only sell products that were left over from deliveries and orders before March 2022. We would like to emphasize that part of the above-mentioned decision from March is also the fact that all income from the sale of these products is handed over to Ukrainian citizens who have suffered from Russia's invasion of their country, adds the network.The first half of 2022 may turn out to be the most difficult in the history of the Polish branch of Leroy Merlin.Last year, the group celebrated its 25th anniversary on the Polish market.The wave of criticism and numerous demonstrations due to the remaining sign on the Russian market have overshadowed the company's successes in our country.The Adeo Group, which includes, among othersThe Leroy Merlin chain is a leader in Europe and the third largest player in the world in the DIY and DIY industry with a turnover of EUR 26 billion in 2020.
