Our partnerships


IKEA co-operates with companies, trade unions, NGOs and organisations to develop and reinforce the impact of our work within the social and environmental fields
 
From a social perspective IKEA Social Initiative has partnerships with UNICEF and Save the Children. From an environmental perspective IKEA has a partnership with WWF (the global conservation organisation).
