This awareness is reflected in the People & Planet Positive sustainability strategy we have been implementing since 2012, adopted by IKEA long before the ESG indicators became popular. Our ambition is to achieve climate neutrality across IKEA’s value chain by 2030, including in Poland.

W Ikei wiemy, że walka ze zmianą klimatu jest naszym obowiązkiem, a nasi klienci i pracownicy oczekują od nas konkretnych działań. Mamy świadomość wpływu, jaki wywieramy na otoczenie na poziomie lokalnym, krajowym i globalnym.
We are convinced that climate change is the biggest challenge facing companies, governments, and each of us today. Experts agree that next decade will be crucial for the climate, so we must act together and inspire others. This is also the approach that our customers expect from us, for whom accountability and business transparency matter.
At IKEA, we are responding to this challenge through, among other things, energy transition. Between 2011 and 2016, IKEA Retail invested nearly PLN 1 billion in renewable energy in Poland. We currently have 80 turbines at six wind farms with a total capacity of 180 megawatts. In 2021, they produced 394 gigawatts of energy, more than the company uses in its stores, warehouses and distribution centres.
In May this year, we announced the acquisition of a wind farm and solar park project in north-western Poland. Their total capacity will be 92 megawatts, and the deal is worth EUR 190 million. This is one of the largest investments of its kind in Europe.
