NETHERLANDS - Ikea uses wood more than any other material, and for the very first time, shares all of the 45 markets suppliers sourced wood from in Fiscal Year 22.

Ikea is moving toward greater transparency with an industry-first global wood supply map sharing where all the wood material in Ikea products comes from and more information about why it plays such an essential role in the range.

By sharing this new information, Ikea aims to build greater awareness for consumers on the approach to ensuring responsible wood-sourcing practices.

“People are curious to know more about how we work. Alongside this, the world increasingly recognises the importance forests play for people and the planet. We believe greater transparency will help support the development of responsible forest management globally”, says Ulf Johansson, Global Wood Supply and Forestry Manager at Inter Ikea Group.

“By becoming more transparent about our own wood use, we want to lead by example, as well as share our progress, the learnings, and challenges we face along the way”, says Ulf Johansson.
