Sustainable Procurement

IWAY is the IKEA way for responsibly procuring products, services, materials, and components. It sets clear expectations and ways of working for environmental, social, and working conditions, as well as animal welfare, and is mandatory for all suppliers and service providers that work with IKEA.

You can find more information on the IWAY system here:

As a supplier to Ingka, we reference IWAY in our agreements and purchase orders.

We know we have a huge responsibility – and many opportunities – to make a positive difference on climate change. As stubborn optimists, we believe that we can create a better future.​

There are many existing solutions to tackle the climate crisis, but we urgently need to accelerate action. This can offer new opportunities for job creation, innovation, economic growth and reduced energy costs. And we’re proving that it’s possible to reduce our climate footprint while increasing our revenue. Since our baseline year 2016, we have reduced our climate footprint in absolute terms by -30.1% across scope 1, 2 and 3, while growing our business by 23.7%. This reduction is coming primarily from implementing carbon saving measures, such as renewable electricity and energy efficiency; however, changes in our business operations, procurement and sales have also contributed.​

​As a supplier to Ingka we expect you to share our ambitions and have clear roadmaps for your net zero transition.
