How does IKEA approach social and environmental issues?
At IKEA we believe being socially and environmentally responsible is a pre-requisite for doing business. That’s why we have the IKEA Way, a way of working and living that influences everything we do in every store, factory and forest. We work only with suppliers who agree to abide by the IKEA Way on Purchasing Home Furnishing Products, or IWAY for short. IWAY is our code of conduct covering working conditions, wages, environmental protection, and child labour prevention. IWAY also covers the transport and distribution of IKEA products, so we’re working to reduce energy consumption and emissions in our operations and in the transport of our products.
