Wood & forestry

IKEA uses wood more than any other material, and for the very first time IKEA opens up and shares how much wood is used, where it comes from, and how it’s done in a responsible way. By sharing this new information, IKEA aims to build greater awareness for consumers on the approach to ensuring responsible wood-sourcing practices.

People are curious to know more about how we work. Alongside this, the world increasingly recognizes the importance forests play for people and the planet. We believe greater transparency will help support the development of responsible forest management globally.

Our main objective was to increase transparency in how we work with wood, providing our customers with detailed information about our processes and practices. We also strive to answer the many questions that our users have, by providing clear communication that is tailored to their needs and journey.

In addition, we aim to lead the industry in becoming more transparent, setting an example for other companies to follow.
