Zero emission IKEA deliveries

At IKEA, we have committed to cutting carbon emissions in all stages of our value chain.  As a result, Ingka Group – the biggest IKEA franchisee – is aiming for 100% of deliveries globally, to be delivered by electric vehicles (EV) or other IKEA zero-emission solutions by 2025.

Zero-emission vehicles

As delivery vehicles are a major contributor to air and noise pollution as well as to congestion in cities, IKEA has committed to transitioning to zero-emission delivery vehicles.  When we refer to 'zero-emission vehicles’, we are specifically referring to emissions from the tank-to-wheel perspective. At IKEA, this means we are considering only the CO2 emissions generated while the vehicle is in operation, starting from the fuel in the tank and the vehicle's tailpipe emissions. We do not include emissions associated with the production and distribution of the fuel in this context.  

Reaching our IKEA emission reduction goals  

Ingka Group is making significant progress towards achieving zero-emission deliveries by 2025:  

  • Since we started the transition in 2017 at IKEA to zero-emission deliveries, we have doubled our Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet each year globally, with an exception for FY22.  
  • We aimed to have 20% zero-emission deliveries in India by 2023. So far during 2023, we have already reached 51%. 
  • 96 EVs and 30 electric tuk-tuks are currently on the roads in India. (September 2023)

IKEA zero-emissions, what’s our approach?

Our methodology for achieving zero-emission deliveries in Ireland involves:

  • Setting clear and achievable targets for reducing IKEA CO2 emissions within our delivery fleet.  
  • Identifying and adopting technologies and fuels suitable for Ireland infrastructure.
  • Collaborating closely with local authorities, partners, and communities to create an enabling environment for zero-emission logistics.
  • Regularly monitoring and transparently reporting our progress to ensure accountability.
