Who are we?
To create a better everyday life for the many people.
This vision goes beyond home furnishings and home products.
We want to have a positive impact on the world, from the communities where we source our raw materials to the way our products help our customers live more sustainably at home.
By sharing what we do and standing up for what we believe in, we can be part of positive change in society.
Quality for everyday life. It’s that simple
For us, quality means that you can enjoy your products for a long, long time. That’s why we pay attention to every detail: from how we make them to the materials we choose.
At IKEA, we believe that quality isn’t an end in itself, but a way to be there for you in the long run without breaking the bank. Our products are designed to be used, moved, taken apart, and put back together when life changes. Because life changes, and our products keep working just like they did on day one.
Functionality in any space
Functionality to make your day-to-day easier. At IKEA, we design practical, useful, safe, and easy-to-maintain solutions, created to address what actually happens in your home.
We design with heart
We design furniture and accessories that bring beauty and personality to your home. Each piece clearly shows what it’s for, so everything is easy to understand and easy to enjoy.
Affordable prices. Always
At IKEA, we always design with price in mind. We want you to be able to furnish your home without hassle or overspending. That’s why we make the most of materials and use efficient processes that keep prices low without compromising on quality.
We care for people and the planet
At IKEA, we’re committed to durable designs that last for years, helping you save energy and water at home. We choose materials and processes that reduce our environmental impact.
We also think about the product’s future: that it can be repaired, reused, or passed on to someone else without losing value. And when it has served its purpose, we strive to ensure it can be recycled or biodegraded, leaving the smallest possible footprint.
In this way, every choice becomes a step toward a more sustainable home and world.
<< IKEA isn't the work of just one person. It's the result of many people working together over the years, through both joy and hard work.>>

IKEA's Values
Togetherness
Togetherness, or “tillsammans” as we say in Swedish, is an important aspect. In fact, it is the foundation of IKEA culture. We know that we perform at our best when we trust one another, work toward a common goal, and—just as importantly—have fun together.
Caring for People and the Planet
We want to drive positive change and make a meaningful, lasting impact. We will continue to offer products that are sustainably manufactured and sourced, and help people live more sustainably at home.
Cost awareness
We constantly challenge ourselves and others to do more with less without compromising on quality. Every day and everywhere, we do our utmost to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs, because it is impossible to offer low prices if costs are not low.
Simplicity
Being simple, honest, and realistic is an approach that is part of our legacy. In our world, simplicity means efficiency and doing what comes naturally. We reject complicated solutions and view bureaucracy as our greatest enemy.
Renewal and improvement
We believe that whatever we do today, we can do a little better tomorrow. For us, there is no such thing as impossible. In fact, finding solutions to “impossible” challenges is what allows us to succeed.
Different with a purpose
We are not like other companies, nor do we want to be. We want to challenge conventions and drive positive change in our industry—and sometimes even in the world. We are tireless entrepreneurs,
driven by curiosity and a desire to create a better world.
Taking on and delegating responsibilities
We insist on giving people a lot of responsibility from the very start of their journey at IKEA. We believe in empowering people and in the power of those who want to grow. And we all grow by taking on challenging tasks.
Leading by example
For us, leadership is an action, not a job title. We place as much importance on people’s values as we do on their skills and experience. We want people who walk the talk and lead by example.
