Internationaal pleidooi voor samenwerking

Statement: "EDRA/GHIN en HIMA - de leidende associaties die de hele Home Improvenemt Sector representeren - herinneren alle stakeholders in de sector er aan dat eerlijk en constructief business-partnership noodzakelijk is in deze turbulente tijden. Covid-19 heeft een nooitvertoonde impact op supply-chains over de hele wereld. Om een voortdurende goederenstroom richting consument wereldwijd op gang te houden moeten retailers en fabrikanten/leveranciers samenwerken om praktische oplossingen te vinden." Dat zeggen John Herbert, General Secretary of EDRA/GHIN, en Ralf Rahmede, General Manager of HIMA.

John W. Herbert, General Secretary EDRA/GHIN: 
“Our members around the world are confronting the impacts of COVID-19 through store closures, restricted opening hours and difficulty in keeping goods stocked, to name a few impacts. Suppliers and retailers must come together in this extremely difficult time.” 
 
Ralf Rahmede, General Manager HIMA: 
“This is a challenging phase. Our members are working around the clock and pursuing all methods to ensure supply chain disruptions and bottlenecks are avoided. Working multilaterally is the best way to overcome any obstacles. We sincerely encourage everyone to stay fair with each other and to respect contractual agreements.”
