Suppliers – our partners in running a better business
Suppliers – our partners in running a better business
IKEA’s suppliers and service providers are key in creating a better everyday life for the many people. Together, IKEA and its partners explore new ways to run and grow their businesses in a socially and environmentally responsible way, collaborating on challenges and acting as partners for positive change.
Shared values – the way towards a more ethical supply chain
We choose suppliers that share our values and ambition to become people and planet positive. We know that doing business responsibly is only possible when every participant is on the same page. This applies to everyone including suppliers of services, food, transport, home furnishing products and components.
IWAY – a supplier code of conduct
IWAY is the IKEA way of responsibly sourcing products, services, materials and components. It sets clear expectations and ways of working for environmental, social and working conditions, as well as animal welfare, and is mandatory for all suppliers and service providers that work with IKEA.
A tool for integrating human rights
Our code of conduct enables decent and meaningful work for every worker in the IKEA value chain and contributes to positive change in local communities. IWAY addresses issues such as child labour, forced labour, responsible recruitment, wages, working hours and competence development of workers.
Working and striving together
By creating long-term relationships with our suppliers, we can achieve a positive societal and environmental impact. Dialogue and collaboration are always at the heart of our approach, and when challenges arise, we work through them together with our suppliers.
