Procurement guided by clear standards

IWAY - Our supplier code of conduct

IWAY sets clear expectations and ways of working for environmental, social and working conditions, as well as animal welfare.

IWAY is also our foundation for protecting human rights in the supply chain. We expect our closest suppliers to fulfil not only the IWAY Must and Basic requirements, but also the Advanced and Excellent requirements for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (see requirements G 4.14–G 4.16 here).

You can find more information on the IWAY system here:

Climate, Nature & Circularity​

With our size and reach, we have a big responsibility – and many opportunities – to take action on climate change and the interrelated crises of nature and biodiversity loss, water scarcity and resource scarcity.

You can read more about our actions for climate and nature here as well as about our contribution to the circular economy here

Let Us Do This Together

At Ingka, we believe that good business is built on trust, transparency, and care – for people, for data, and for the planet. That is why we take third-party risk management seriously, and we want to do it together with you.

As one of our valued suppliers, you play an important role in helping us keep our business safe and secure. Whether it is protecting personal data, ensuring safe working environments, or living up to our Code of Conduct, we are here to support each other in doing what is right.

We are working side by side with our suppliers to:

– Strengthen cybersecurity and protect the information we share.
– Promote health and safety for persons involved in our supply chain.
– Uphold our IWAY standard

Together, we can build a way of working that is secure, fair, and respectful.
