Can healthy food make life at home better?

Food is an important part of every day, and our food range is important to us. Read more about our mission to make good food accessible to the many, our science-backed food nutrition profiling system, and how the Swedish concept “lagom” is part of the food product development process at IKEA.

From field to table – sustainability every step of the way

Our work towards creating more sustainable food systems is aligned with our work with responsible sourcing of food ingredients. We also work to reduce food waste and to use circular and more sustainable packaging. With our size and reach, we can make healthier and more sustainable food options available for the many people.

More sustainable sourcing

We want to have a positive impact on people, society and the planet. Responsible sourcing of raw materials and production plays a large part in this.

Working together to reduce food waste

The shocking truth is that 1/3 of all food is wasted. IKEA is committed to working across our value chain to reduce food waste and loss with clear goals for production and restaurants. We are also continuing to develop products that help people reduce food waste at home. Together we can make a difference.

Sustainable packaging systems

We have the ambition that by 2030 all our food packaging will be made from renewable or recycled material. We are working to develop the most sustainable food packaging that not only complies with food safety regulations but also minimises food waste and optimises material use.
