IKEA Sustainability Commitments
2030
Become a circular business
IKEA says it wants to become a fully circular business by 2030. Circular business means keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through repair, reuse, resale, and recycling instead of throwing them away. The company links this goal to product design, recycling infrastructure, and customer services such as Buy Back & Resell.
2030
Cut value-chain emissions in half
Independent coverage says IKEA’s parent company, Ingka Group, has an SBTi-approved target to halve absolute carbon emissions across its whole value chain by FY30 compared with FY16. SBTi stands for Science Based Targets initiative, a group that checks whether climate targets match what science says is needed. This target covers suppliers, operations, and other parts of the business.
2050
Reach net zero by 2050
Independent coverage says Ingka Group aims to reach net zero by FY50 and cut emissions by 90% by that year. Net zero means balancing the greenhouse gases a company still emits with removals or cuts elsewhere, after reducing as much as possible first. The source says this target is part of a newer Net Zero and Beyond plan.
2030
Invest more in renewable energy
Independent coverage says Ingka Investments has pledged €7.5 billion toward renewable energy by 2030. The money is meant for wind and solar projects. This is a future investment commitment, not just a report of past spending, and it supports IKEA’s wider climate plans.
