Zero emission IKEA deliveries

At IKEA, we have committed to cutting carbon emissions in all stages of our value chain.  As a result, Ingka Group – the biggest IKEA franchisee – is aiming for 100% of deliveries globally, to be delivered by electric vehicles (EV) or other IKEA zero-emission solutions by 2025.

“By promoting the use of EVs for home deliveries, we want to improve the local environment around our stores and act as a good neighbour. With this we hope to see healthier cities, and a healthier climate.”
Simon Henzell-ThomasClimate and Nature Manager at Ingka Group, which operates IKEA stores in 31 countries.

IKEA zero-emissions, what’s our approach? 

Our methodology for achieving zero-emission deliveries involves:

Localisations

Identifying and adopting technologies and fuels suitable for the local infrastructure.

Collaborations

Collaborating closely with local authorities, partners, and communities to create an enabling environment for zero-emission logistics.

Reporting

Regularly monitoring and transparently reporting our progress to ensure accountability.

Reaching our IKEA emission reduction goals

Ingka Group is making significant progress globally towards achieving zero-emission deliveries: 

  • We have come a long way since we set the target in 2018. Already in 2019 Shanghai became the first city where 100% of our home deliveries are transported by EV vehicles and today we have 100% zero-emission home deliveries across 20 cities, in 300+ locations and more than 2500+ electric vehicles are in operation globally.   
  • Our latest forecast shows that we are making good progress towards the goal or reaching 100% zero emission deliveries, with some continued challenges. However, we expect significant progress to be made in 2024/2025 due to gains we have made within charging infrastructure in the last year, and new policies coming into place which allow for heavier electric light commercial vehicles in many countries.
  • We are working to more rapidly roll out zero emission vehicles through additional investments in vehicles and charging infrastructure, piloting new innovations and collaborating with other industry players. These actions include collaborating with truck manufacturers to test new EVs, investing in charging infrastructure, and advocating for policy changes to overcome regulatory barriers. 

How are we doing in the Czech Republic?

In the Czech Republic, we currently deliver over 90% of orders using emission-free vehicles. In many areas, such as Prague, Liberec, České Budějovice, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové, Karlovy Vary, and Plzeň, we already deliver orders exclusively with emission-free vehicles. Additional areas are gradually being added to achieve our goal of delivering all orders with emission-free vehicles by the end of 2025. 

There are already more than 70 electric cars on the road in the Czech Republic (May 2025).
