The IKEA Sustainability Strategy

We have big ambitions for 2030. We are committed to doing our part to tackle climate change, unsustainable consumption, and inequality. Our three major focus areas are Healthy & sustainable living, Circular & climate positive and Fair & equal.

Climate action and circularity

By increasing climate action and accelerating circularity, we can regenerate resources while growing the IKEA business.

35% more efficient

The new SOLHETTA LED bulbs are much more energy effecient - and affordable - than previous IKEA LED bulbs.

100% renewable electricity in IKEA factories

During FY21 we reached 100% renewable electricity for all IKEA-operated factories, packaging and distribution units globally.

55.8% renewable materials

Of the materials we sourced in 2021, 55.8% were renewable and 17.3% were recycled.

Less waste with rechargeable batteries

We no longer sell non-rechargeable alkaline batteries and have replaced them with our LADDA rechargeable batteries. This helps customers to significantly reduce waste and save money in the long run.

The planet is our only home and needs us now more than ever. But home has always been what we make it. And we’re determined to help a billion people live better everyday lives within the limits of the planet.
