At IKEA we recognize that our business has an impact on people and the planet, in particular people’s working conditions, as well as the environment, both locally and globally. We also strongly believe that we can do good business while being a good business. This is a pre-condition to our future growth that will be achieved along with Suppliers that share our vision and ambition. Our guiding principles when working with environmental, social and working conditions are: • What is in the best interest of the child? • What is in the best interest of the Worker? • What is in the best interest of the environment? Through these principles we support the direction described in the IKEA Group Sustainability Strategy; “People & Planet Positive”. The IKEA Way on Purchasing Products, Materials and Services (IWAY) is the IKEA Group Supplier Code of Conduct. It comprises the IKEA minimum requirements relating to the Environment and Social & Working Conditions (including Child Labor). We communicate these requirements to our supplies and vendors. We work with our co-workers to find the best ways to recycle. We take into consideration their feedback as we manage resources at our DC. We do audits and surveys. IKEA North America is also in the process of mapping how we source of products required for the daily operations of our warehouse. We focus on donation when application than sending products out for recycling, and reach out to organizations in our local communities to find a match for the products that are safe to use. To save energy, we request all our co-workers to keep the dock door shut not in operation. We communicate using several mediums such as posters, face-to-face meetings, TV slides etc.
