How does IKEA work with sustainability?
We strive to improve everyday life for people in a sustainable way. Our focus is on promoting healthy living, developing a circular and climate‑positive business, and creating a fair and inclusive society.
We want to create a better everyday life for the many people without it coming at the expense of our planet or future generations. To achieve this, we have identified three focus areas where we believe we can make the greatest difference based on the nature of our business: promoting a more sustainable and healthy life, continuously developing our operations to become more circular and climate‑positive, and contributing to a fairer and more inclusive society.
