A sustainable everyday

We want to empower people to live more sustainably, so we’re focusing on affordable, resource and energy efficient products. With home solar panels, veggie hot dogs, and energy-saving solutions, we’re paving the way for more sustainable homes for the many.

How to live more sustainably at home

We understand that more and more people are interested in reducing the impact they have on the planet, but that many don’t really know how to do it. To make this easier we focus on a few key things: energy, air, water and waste.

A clear sustainability strategy

We’ve set ambitious goals. This includes commiting to becoming climate positive by 2030. This means reducing more greenhouse gas emissions than the full IKEA value chain emits, while growing the IKEA business.
