    Company Overview

    IKEA

    Almhult, Sweden

    1943

    Approximately 200,000 employees globally (source: linkedin.com). Revenue details for 2023 or later are not publicly disclosed in available sources due to its private status, but Ingka Group reported revenue growth amid sustainability investments (source: sustainabilitymag.com).

    What They Do

    IKEA is a global furniture retailer that has made significant investments in renewable energy as part of its sustainability strategy. While not a dedicated renewable energy company, IKEA focuses on integrating renewable energy solutions into its operations and supply chain. This includes the installation of solar panels, development of wind farms, and implementation of supplier programs aimed at enhancing energy efficiency. The company also offers consumer energy services, which further supports its commitment to sustainability and innovation in retail (source: wikipedia.org; ikea.com).

    Projects & Track Record

    Notable projects by IKEA include the 165 MW Cameron Wind farm located in Cameron County, Texas, and a 42 MW coastal wind farm in Finland, which has been operational since 2012. Additionally, IKEA has installed solar panels on 17 U.S. stores, with plans for 22 more by 2012. By 2024, 96% of Ingka's retail sites are expected to utilize renewable electricity, with a 75% renewable share in production, an increase from 71% in the previous fiscal year (source: wikipedia.org; ingka.com).

    Recent Developments

    In January 2025, IKEA launched its third renewable electricity program wave, expanding to 14 markets, including Bangladesh and the U.S., aiming for 91% production coverage. Ingka Group announced a €1.5 billion investment for the phase-out of fossil fuels, which includes retrofitting 150 sites and enhancing renewable heating and cooling solutions. In September 2024, IKEA initiated a pilot program with Vanguard Renewables to convert food waste into renewable energy at five U.S. stores using anaerobic digestion technology (source: ikea.com; ingka.com; esgdive.com).

    Working There

    IKEA offers a diverse range of roles across various departments, including retail, supply chain, sustainability, and energy procurement. Positions such as climate and air quality managers, global supply managers, and product development roles focused on solar and heat pump technologies are actively sought. The company emphasizes a culture of collaboration and resourcefulness, reflecting its Småland roots, and promotes work-life integration through benefits like on-site restaurants. Active hiring is ongoing in expansion markets, particularly in renewable supplier support and energy retrofits (source: ikea.com; ingka.com; linkedin.com).
