IKEA

We’re in great company on the new Forbes World’s Best Employers 2024 list, ranking as the 8th best in the world. As the highest-ranked retail company, we’re proud that our efforts to be a great place to work, learn, and grow have created workplaces full of engaged co-workers. The result of extensive surveys with employees worldwide, this ranking shows they value the opportunities, experiences, and culture we offer. That’s the most important feedback we could receive. Our culture and values guide and set us apart, but being a great employer takes continuous effort. We aim always to adapt, innovate, and reconsider how we work to ensure we keep moving in the right direction. None of this would be possible without our co-workers who embody the IKEA values every day. Your dedication and hard work are the true reasons behind any success we achieve, and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/gvhzhiB

We all depend on #nature. At #COP16 in Cali, Colombia, we will join others to support accelerating action on the Global Biodiversity Framework to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.   IKEA is dependent on nature and biodiversity for the success of our business, now and in the future. Setting goals guided by Science-based Targets for Nature (SBTN), investing in reforesting degraded landscapes, and taking collective action to support ecosystem resilience are just some of the ways we are working to protect and improve biodiversity.   We don't have all the answers and can't achieve our goals alone. Therefore, we will continue to engage, learn, and act with others to increase awareness and action on nature and biodiversity.   Swipe to see where we're focusing our actions.

The MÄVINN collection is back with its second edition, honouring unique handcraft while providing jobs for those who need it the most. Since 2012, we have partnered with social enterprises to design and produce products that celebrate local craftsmanship while providing jobs and training for women and marginalised groups. We collaborated with five social businesses and artisans from Bangladesh, India, and Jordan for this collection. Each of the 17 handcrafted pieces tells a cultural heritage story while empowering the artisans who created it. MÄVINN will be available from September 2024 onwards.
