Climate action
We are taking action to decarbonise our business by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through operational improvements, energy efficiency and transitioning to renewable energy. We report our progress annually and in FY25, Ingka Group matched 94.8% of our electricity use with renewable electricity sourcing and 60.1% of our share of retail home deliveries were made by electric or other zero-tailpipe-emission vehicles.
In FY25, Ingka Group achieved a 70.6% reduction in absolute emissions from our own operations (e.g. emissions from energy use in our units and operational waste) against our FY16 baseline, and a 22.3% reduction since FY24.

Becoming net zero
In FY25, Ingka Group sourced renewable energy to match 94.8% of our annual electricity consumption. 7.8% of our electricity consumption was produced from on-site renewable generation, 49.1% of our consumption was matched by owning and operating our own wind and solar parks, and 37.9% was matched with Energy Attribute Certificates purchased on the market.
Climate agenda
To reduce our climate footprint we have set the following strategic goals, in order of priority:
1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
We're working towards electrification - for example, matching 94.8% of our electricity use with renewable electricity sourcing, and using electric trucks or other zero emission tail pipe vehicles for over 60% of our share of deliveries (FY25), and continually improving energy efficiency. Ingka Group’s energy efficiency (kWh/m² floor space) in operations has improved by 19.6% since FY16. Despite rising energy prices around the world, our total utility costs decreased by 25.2 million from FY24 (271 million Euro) to FY25 (245.8 million Euro) for the total real estate footprint of Ingka Retail.
IKEA Buyback Service
Bring eligible IKEA furniture to one of our stores in 31 countries and we'll buy it back. You'll then get in-store credit to make your next purchase more affordable, while your used furniture can find a new home.
Need a spare part?
We are offering spare parts to enable customers to repair their IKEA products. To make it even easier for customers to get their spare parts, we have launched an easy-to-use online ordering solution.
2. Storing carbon through forestry investments
In addition to our work to cut emissions at the source, we are actively investing in forest protection and expansion to enhance natural carbon storage. Based on our methodology, the forest we owned removed and stored 833,831 tonnes of CO2e in FY25 (FY24: 675,519).

3. Going beyond IKEA
We take an extended responsibility for the climate footprint of our customers, suppliers and sourcing. To do this we enable customers to generate renewable energy at home and transform our suppliers’ entire factories or operations to renewable energy.
So far we have invested or committed to invest over EUR 4.3 billion in renewable energy production assets, like wind and solar. Through its investment arm Ingka Investments, Ingka Group today owns and operates 49 wind farms across 17 countries and 26 solar parks in nine countries, producing more than 5 TWh of electricity annually – equivalent to the yearly consumption of over 1.47 million European households.
