who benefited from forced labor
Publicly Traded Companies that Benefited from Forced or Slave Labor, 1929-1945 CalPERS
1 BERLIN â Ikea has long been famous for its inexpensive, some-assembly-required furniture. 2  A report by auditors at Ernst & Young concluded that Ikea, a Swedish company, knowingly benefited from forced labor in the former East Germany to manufacture some of its products in the 1980s. Ikea had commissioned the report in May as a result of accusations that both political and criminal prisoners were involved in making components of Ikea furniture and that some Ikea employees knew about it.
