Leroy Merlin next to, among others Nestle and Decathlon, one of the companies for which the war caused by Russia became an opportunity to increase their profits. The owner of this chain of stores, i.e. the Adeo group, decided not only to stay in Russia, but also to increase supplies to the Russian market in order to respond to the growing demand resulting from the withdrawal of some competitors.
In addition, the French decided to cut off the employees of the Ukrainian branch of Leroy Merlin from the internal corporate communication system. This was announced a week ago by the head of HR of the Ukrainian branch of LM Ludmila Dziuba, pointing out that Leroy Merlin thus deprived 800 Ukrainian workers of the possibility of providing humanitarian and medical aid to those who needed it.
In response to her post on LinkedIn, the company assured that on March 15 it will restore communication channels for employees from Ukraine. According to the latest entry by Ludmiła Dziuba, the deadline was not met, but ultimately Leroy Merlin actually restored the ability to use corporate communication channels, albeit to a limited extent.
