This is IKEA
When our co-workers grow, IKEA grows too!
Talent Focus Week is the world’s largest co-worker engagement event. It is about supporting and motivating everyone to take the lead in their own development. It is about enabling our leaders to spot and develop talents. It is about strengthening the dialogue between co-workers and managers on how to best use their talents within the many ways to grow.
At IKEA everyone is seen as a talent and we believe that it is everyone’s uniqueness that makes us strong. And you are already a great customer - how about becoming a great co-worker?
A second, third or even fourth life
Modular, lightweight and easy to build and take apart. PLATSA storage system takes flexibility to a whole new level. So when your life and needs change, the storage can change with you. This prolongs the life of your PLATSA and goes hand in hand with a more sustainable lifestyle.
Responsible wood sourcing
By 2020 our goal is that all wood will come from more sustainable sources – meaning either FSC-certified or recycled wood. We partner with WWF and FSC to transform the wood industry, making more certified wood available than we need.
Dyed by nature
Textile dyes are usually oil-based, but the dye we use for the JOFRID textile series is made from natural and renewable materials like leaves, nutshells and orange peels. As a result, we’ve created beautiful products while reducing their environmental impact.
Supporting a more sustainable agriculture and better animal welfare
We believe in a new vision for the food industry. One which positively impacts the lives of people, the planet and also the lives of animals. That’s why the IKEA Food Better Programmes support a shift towards better animal welfare and a more sustainable food system.
The IKEA Concept
Democratic Design
We feel good design combines form, function, quality, sustainability at a low price. We call it “Democratic Design” - we believe good home furnishing is for everyone.
Choosing materials
We believe in choosing materials responsibly, and we aim for renewable, recycled or recyclable resources whenever possible.

Product Safety
Affordable products are at the heart of everything we do. That doesn’t mean that we compromise on quality or safety. IKEA products must be safe, from both a health and environmental perspective.
