Our journey towards becoming a truly sustainable group of companies kicked off in October 2020 with our first ever Group-wide digital event called Ikano Future 2.0. Historically, Ikano Future events have always been face-to-face with a selected group of leaders from our Ikano businesses, but with the 2.0 editions, we are now including all of our co-workers in this important work ahead.
3 focus areas lead the way
Today, some of society’s biggest challenges are climate change, inequality, unsustainable consumption and lack of well-being for many people across the world. By working with our three focus areas, we believe we can make a positive difference:
• Healthy & sustainable living
• Circular & climate positive
• Fair & inclusive
Facing these societal challenges is best done together, which is why we are aligning and working with the same three focus areas as Ingka and Inter IKEA. The focus areas and the actions we take going forward are rooted in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
3 digital events to engage, inspire and involve our co-workers
Since the kick-off in October 2020, we met again in April 2021 and for the final event in September – filmed live at Bölsö, the home of Ikano and IKEA. Throughout the journey, it has been clear for us that we must act now and we want to inspire all our co-workers to contribute. A focused bottom-up approach, where everybody is involved and feels empowered to act has been key all the way. Because in the end, all actions count – both big and small – and together we can make a difference.
Now we make it happen
Launched in September 2021, our Group sustainability strategy 2022-2025 focuses entirely on ambitious goals and crucial measures to ensure positive change for people and the planet. We have always believed in creating possibilities for better living for the many people, and we are convinced that sustainability is an enabler for good business. With this strategy, we strive to inspire and enable our many co-workers, customers and partners to live healthier and more sustainable lives within the boundaries of our planet, as soon as possible.
Each of our six Ikano businesses have defined a sustainability direction supported by specific goals and targets. They have also set clear KPIs that will be followed-up on in our sustainability dashboards.
