The climate footprint across the IKEA value chain
By financial year 2030, we are committed to reduce more greenhouse gas emissions than the IKEA value chain emits, while growing the IKEA business.
In FY23, the IKEA climate footprint was estimated at 23.7 million tonnes CO2 eq in absolute terms. This is a 12% reduction compared to FY22 and 22% reduction compared to baseline FY16. The reduction is attributed to an increase in renewable electricity at retail and in production units, energy efficiency improvements in our lighting range, as well lower production volumes.
