Breaking the trend: IKEA reports a decrease in climate footprint
The IKEA Sustainability Report FY19, released Thursday, describes how IKEA tackles global challenges such as climate change, unsustainable consumption, and inequalities. “We are on an exciting journey to inspire and enable more people to live healthier and more sustainable lives, while at the same time, create a positive impact for people, society and the planet,” Lena Pripp-Kovac, Chief Sustainability Officer, Inter IKEA Group, said in a release. “FY19 marks an important milestone as this is the first year where we continued to grow – but our climate footprint decreased. With 6.5 percent growth in sales, we managed to decrease our climate footprint by 4.3 percent in absolute terms. This is good news, especially since we know that we need to do so much more to reach our commitments for 2030.”
