The wood we use
The wood used in IKEA products comes from many locations around the world. Learn where it grows, how much we use, and the types of wood we source. You can also find out how we ensure that the wood we use comes from forests certified by FSC® or equivalent standards and complies with IWAY, the IKEA code of conduct, requirements.

Our approach to wood sourcing
We have a comprehensive wood control system in place and we do not accept wood that fails to meet our strict requirements, such as wood from illegal harvests, non-commercial high conservation value forests, areas with social conflicts, or genetically modified tree plantations. If we discover irregularities, we take immediate action.
[1]At least 95% of the wood used in IKEA products is third‑party certified. However, our forestry requirements must be met in all cases.
