IKEAs response is a bit disappointing, though.
They could've come out much more strongly against the FSC and the allegations ie. something like "we're taking the Earthlink report very seriously and will be working with the FSC to have a full investigation performed on the origin of the wood sourced for these product lines". Instead they denied any wrongdoing (not the point, IKEA) and quietly dropped the supplier.
Based on what I read in this article, to me it seems like IKEA is just covering their own ass as much as possible while not asking for any accountability from their suppliers in the process. Maybe they are worried about what further scrutiny of their suppliers might uncover. Don't ask, don't tell.
