Local Efforts
Wherever we are, we act with respect to exert a positive impact on people and on the limited resources of our planet.
IKEA always tries to do more with less. This goes hand in hand with our environmental work - to use natural resources in an economical and prudent way.
IKEA Singapore is involved in many national and local activities. Below you can read about those that are taking place in your local community.
Singaporeans use a staggering 2.5 billion plastic bags every year. That’s billions more pieces of plastic year upon year that will end up in the oceans and forests, where they will continue to kill wildlife and pollute the natural environment for hundreds of years. So let’s take care of the one and only home we’ve got. When shopping at the IKEA stores, please bring your own bag or you may choose to buy our reusable blue IKEA shopping bag that you can use for life. Together, we can make everyday living better.
To encourage customers to make the switch, IKEA is reducing the price of its blue reusable bags from $1.20 to $0.90 for large bags and from $0.60 to $0.30 for the smaller version.
From 2013, with the cost savings from eliminating disposable plastic bags, we will be pledging a further $200,000 to WWF Singapore to fund its eco-education programmes.

It is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.
Dinner at the IKEA Restaurants during Earth Hour 2012 was a huge success! We had also switched off the façade and external lights during Earth Hour. A total of $10,370.31 which was a 35% increase from last year, was collected from the sales proceeds at the IKEA Restaurant during this hour. This amount will be our sponsorship for the IKEA & Earth Hour 2012 campaign to WWF Singapore in support of your conservation works in Singapore.
Thank you for your support!
