We are committed to doing business ethically and using new technologies responsibly. We expect everyone at Ingka Group to live our values everyday.

What we are proud of

  • We have significantly increased the number of co-workers in sensitive roles completing training on our Anti-bribery and Corruption (ABC) framework. We identified 16,399 co-workers in sensitive roles in FY25 and 81.0% of them completed the training, up from 58.2% in FY24.
  • Mandatory two-yearly training on our Code of Conduct reinforces our standards and guides co-workers on putting them into practice.
  • To support digital trust, data privacy is embedded in our business operations through privacy assessments, controls and regular refresher training for all co-workers
  • We have established an AI risk classification, inventory and assessment process to support implementation of our digital ethics standards and ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Our AI literacy programme is building co-workers’ understanding of how to use AI solutions.

Challenges we are addressing

  • We must remain vigilant as economic instability and geopolitical uncertainty puts financial p pressure on individuals and businesses, increasing the potential for unethical behaviour or corrupt practices.
  • We need to reach more co-workers in sensitive roles with ABC training. We are optimising and automating the process for identifying sensitive positions, assigning training and tracking completion.
  • The rapid emergence of new digital technologies means guidance and training need to be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to enable our co-workers to make the most of new technologies in a responsible way.
  • AI technology and related regulations are evolving rapidly, making it challenging to develop enduring frameworks to govern responsible use of AI.
  • Co-workers need guidance to understand what is required for responsible AI use as they learn how to use emerging AI solutions.

Progress against targets

Our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We set targets to keep improving and monitor and report our performance. Below you will find our governance targets and latest performance data. 

Ethical business conduct

Our culture and values guide us in everything we do. We are committed to doing business in an honest way with zero tolerance towards bribery or corruption in any form. Everyone at Ingka Group must uphold high ethical standards in the way we work and the way we interact with others.
