IKEA and WWF Co-operation on Forest Projects

IKEA and WWF Conservation Partnership


IKEA and WWF work together to increase the availability of FSC-certified wood and to tackle problems such as illegal logging. We cooperate in projects in important wood sourcing regions such as Russia and China, Bulgaria, Romania, and Vietnam.
 
The co-operation, started in 2002, has contributed to doubling the certified forest areas in China and helped Russia become the world’s second largest country by certified forest areas.

Forestry projects


Projects include:
  • Promoting responsible wood trade and development of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification in China.
  • Identifying high-conservation-value forests and supporting FSC certification in Romania and Bulgaria.
  • Supporting legal cross-border wood trade between Russia and China.
  • Promoting legal compliance in the forestry sector and responsible forestry practices in Russia.
  • Certifying an acacia plantation to FSC standards in Vietnam.
  • Developing sustainable production and sourcing of rattan in Laos and Cambodia.
