Apr 09, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Carrefour, Kingfisher, IKEA and Marks & Spencer have announced that they are setting up the Timber Retail Coalition (TRC).
The coalition is a vehicle for "like-minded companies" to argue for current proposals to build on existing voluntary measures and “send a clear message that illegally-harvested timber is not acceptable”.
Ian Cheshire, group CEO of Kingfisher, which includes the B&Q and Brico Depot brands, said: “The TRC's ultimate aim is to provide our customers with the reassurance that every single wood product they buy has been legally sourced. We now need Brussels to take action necessary to achieve this.”
