At IKEA, we do things a little differently. We think, differently and work differently as well. We challenge ourselves and make functional, beautiful, long-lasting products sustainable and affordable. Like music-playing lamps. And beds disguised as sofas. Even plant balls that help us look after our planet. It's all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many people. This has been guiding us for over 80 years.
We believe in a glorious future! We want our actions to have a big and positive impact. We want to lead by example, influence change, sharing our stories and insights, while listening and learning from others. To help us do this, we are taking the next step towards our ambition to take a more proactive role in forming the compliance agenda and therefore looking for a
