The Coalition – founded by European retailers Kingfisher, Marks & Spencer, IKEA and Carrefour Group – seeks to raise awareness and support clear and pragmatic regulations and legislation to ensure that timber and timber products in the European markets are legal, responsibly sourced, and sustainable. The Coalition also seeks to raise awareness of other environmental issues such as deforestation and climate change. The European Retail Roundtable serves as the Coalition Secretariat.
