At IKEA we want to create a better everyday life for as many people as possible – including the millions who are vulnerable and marginalised – enabling a more equal and inclusive society where a decent job is a natural right. IKEA Social Entrepreneurship is one way of making this a reality.
By backing and working with social entrepreneurs, whose business ideas are based on making societies and people thrive, IKEA contributes to creating jobs and better everyday lives around the world.
In this episode we speak to Partner Development Leader Ann-Sofie Gunnarsson who works with artisans from some of the most remote parts of the planet to give IKEA customers the chance to purchase unique homewares with a greater purpose. We talk to Ann-Sofie about the IKEA Social Entrepreneurship programme, the importance of ensuring consistent and sustainable jobs and how the programme is still thriving during times of change and uncertainty.

Avoiding waste and using resources efficiently, is part of the IKEA way of working. With the ambition to find methods to create more sustainable interior design, one of our product development teams asked themselves a question: “Would it be possible to use recycled waste instead of new materials, in our kitchen range? The answer was yes and IKEA created KUNGSBACKA, kitchen fronts made from recycled wood and recycled PET bottles.
Sara Åberg and Anna Granath talk about both the challenges faced, as well as the opportunities yet to come from using sustainable materials in IKEA kitchens.

The issue of water scarcity and the need to save water is always front of mind for a hot and dry country like Australia. With an average annual rainfall of only 470mm per year, Australia is the driest continent inhabited by humans, with very limited freshwater sources.
Now more than ever, we need to enable not just Australians, but consumers around the world to act in their own homes to preserve this precious and threatened resource. At IKEA, we believe that climate action starts at home. And on this topic, we know that the home is the starting point for big changes in society.
In this episode we talk to Tobias Svanberg and Antony Smith from IKEA of Sweden – who have been doing some pretty amazing things to support us all saving more water at home.
