Ingka Group, the largest operator of IKEA stores globally, is widely considered one of the world’s most sustainable retailers.
Its investments in things like renewables, waste reduction and energy efficiency have earned it global recognition in recent years, with Sustainability Magazine ranking it 15th in its list of the world’s 250 most sustainable businesses.
Despite Ingka’s vast physical footprint of 411 IKEA stores across 32 countries, it is firmly on track to achieve its goal of net zero by 2050, having already reduced its total emissions by 30.1% since 2016.
This progress has been helped along by Ingka’s commitment to invest US$8.6bn in renewables, battery storage and climate tech by 2030.
This procurement strategy has seen the company build a vast global energy portfolio that includes 49 wind farms and 26 solar parks, adding up to 2.2GW of capacity.
