Climate action

Our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. In today’s world, this means transforming our business and value chain to reduce our climate footprint. It’s our responsibility to the home we share and what our customers and co-workers expect.

A clear strategy

We’ve set bold goals. This includes taking actions to halve emissions by 2030. This means reducing more greenhouse gas emissions than the full IKEA value chain emits, while growing the IKEA business.

Climate agenda

To reduce our climate footprint we have set the following strategic goals, in order of priority:

See our Annual Summary and Sustainability Report FY25

1. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions​

This will be achieved by increasing our use of materials and food ingredients with a lower climate footprint.

Our progress against these targets is set out in our Net Zero Transition Plan, which includes our methodology, baseline year, and verified emissions data.

Creating markets for second-hand items

A growing number of IKEA markets buy back good quality IKEA furniture from customers who no longer need it and resell these second-hand items to new customers in the our Re-shop and re-use areas. As an example of our approach to circularity, IKEA Sweden trialled a time-limited pop-up store stocked entirely with second-hand IKEA products. For information on Buyback and Resell services available in your local IKEA store, please visit https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/circular/buy-back/.

Supporting customers to repair and maintain products

We offer spare parts for a growing number of selected IKEA products to support repair and replacement of worn or damaged components.  To improve access to available spare parts, we have introduced an online ordering service in many markets. 

2. Removing and storing carbon through forestry and agriculture

As part of our efforts to reduce our climate footprint, we are also working to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere through natural processes. To do this, we are implementing improved forestry and agricultural management practices to store CO₂. Further details of our targets, progress and methodology in this area are set out in our Net Zero Transition Plan.
