The climate footprint across the IKEA value chain
By FY30, we are committed to becoming climate positive by reducing more greenhouse gas emissions than the IKEA value chain emits, while growing the IKEA business. This will be achieved without relying on carbon offsetting. In this way we contribute to limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C by the end of the century.
Becoming climate positive means reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from the IKEA value chain in absolute terms in line with the 1.5°C target while contributing to additional reductions in society. To reduce more than we emit, we will go beyond the IKEA business and contribute to additional reductions in society by taking an extended responsibility for emissions generated by our customers and suppliers, and in our sourcing areas – not just the part for IKEA.
