Ikea will help you live more sustainably

Swedish phrase 'Lagom är bäst', meaning 'the right amount is best', is what Ikea believe is the key to sustainable living.

In recent years, the company has put sustainability front and center, releasing its ‘People & Planet Positive’ roadmap, a document outlining its 2020 sustainability strategy. Some of the objectives outlined in the report include:

Sourcing 100% of its wood, paper and cardboard from more sustainable sources, defined as recycled or FSC® certified wood
Using cotton sourced from “more sustainable” sources, such as “Better Cotton”
90% of products will be more sustainable with substantiated environmental improvements
As a global business it produces as much renewable energy as it consumes.

IKEA wants to make a positive impact on the world. That’s why they want to make it easier for many people to live a more sustainable life at home. By choosing a more sustainable product, you are helping to create positive change for People + Planet together with IKEA.
