    About this work area

    What started as a tiny mail order company in rural Sweden has now become a global home furnishing brand that brings affordability, design and comfort to people all over the world. We may have come a long way since our humble beginnings, but our vision remains the same: to create a better everyday life for the many people. While our vision tells us why we exist, our business idea tells us what we want to achieve – “to offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them.”
    Our values reflect what we consider to be important. They guide us in our everyday lives at work in everything from how we treat people and the planet to how we make decisions - large or small.
    - Togetherness
    - Caring for people and planet
    - Cost-consciousness
    - Simplicity
    - Renew and improve
    - Different with a meaning
    - Give and take responsibility
    - Lead by example

    2. Climate, Nature & Circularity - By increasing climate action and accelerating circularity, we can regenerate resources while growing the IKEA business.
