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, Climate, nature & circularity and Fair & equal.

Climate, nature & circularity

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

35% more efficient

The SOLHETTA LED bulb range is more affordable and on average 35% more energy-efficient 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 switch can help customers to significantly reduce waste and save money in the long run.

97.8% of the wood used for IKEA products is either Forest Stewardship Council®-certified (FSC®) or recycled.
