Rimi Baltic’s decision means that from now on, almost 300 Rimi stores in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will remove Russian-made goods from the range, as well as stop importing them from international distributors. Rimi Baltic is currently informing suppliers of this decision and the removal of Russian products from store shelves has begun.
“The amount of goods produced in Rimi stores in Russia does not exceed 1% of the total assortment. However, the decision to stop selling Russian products is a symbolic step with a clear message – we are against military aggression and show solidarity with the Ukrainians among our customers and employees, ”emphasizes Valdis Turlais, Chairman of the Board of Rimi Latvija.
