Becoming Forest Positive means ensuring the future of trees
and the future of forest communities.
At IKEA, we use wood in a large part of our home furnishing products.
We love wood
because it is durable,
renewable,
recyclable,
and beautiful.
When we design a piece of furniture we make more from less.
Every piece of wood is cut and shaped
so that unnecessary waste is minimized in production.
IKEA sets very high standards for all the wood we use.
By the year 2020
we want all our wood to come from more sustainable sources,
which we define as recycled or FSC certified wood.
Why?
Because we know that responsible forest management
helps to combat climate change.
Together with our partners WWF and FSC we make a difference
for the future of the forests
and the people living around them.
