Staying committed to change is the IKEA way

At IKEA, want to play our part in building a society where all thrive and feel welcome. That's why we're strengthening our commitments to refugees and vulnerable communities.

Our commitments continue

Everyone deserves to tell their own story

At IKEA, we're convinced that all people have the right to tell their own stories. The more stories, the better it is for bringing forward the truth, changing minds and capturing hearts.

Tune in to refugee stories

Changing the narrative won't happen overnight, but we can all take steps to do our part. Witness their stories and help them take back the narrative.
