The IKEA history and company culture is to be cost conscious in everything we do. We dare to think differently and do not want to waste resources. Being circular is both a responsibility and a good business opportunity.

Today, the direction is to be a circular company in all aspects: from how we develop products, source materials, develop our supply chain, and set up logistics, to how and where we meet our customers.

“We truly believe that the journey toward a circular economy requires a daring and innovative mind-set, working together with many stakeholders. It is not only to take back things. This nomination shows that we are on our way towards a true transformation into a circular business.”, says Malin Nordin,  Development Leader Circular IKEA at IKEA Range & Supply.
