How does IKEA enforce compliance with IWAY?
In countries where our suppliers are located, we have managers at IKEA trading offices who are responsible for upholding the IKEA Way on Purchasing Home Furnishing Products, our code of conduct for buying home furnishing and food products, and for transporting and distributing IKEA products. These managers work closely with suppliers and monitor their production processes. IKEA also conducts frequent audits, announced and unannounced, on suppliers and selected subcontractors. And in turn, our auditors are audited by third-party companies to verify their methods and results.
