2. How can I get a copy of the IKEA catalogue? The IKEA catalogue is distributed each year to residents living near each IKEA store. You can get your own copy of the IKEA catalogue by contacting your nearest IKEA store. For more information please visit your local IKEA country site. back to top

3. What is IKEA's position when it comes to child labour? IKEA does not accept child labour and works actively against it. The complexity of the child labour issue requires input and influences from many parties. By cooperating closely with international organisations such as UNICEF and Save the Children, IKEA strives to improve children's rights and to tackle the root causes of child labour. All IKEA suppliers and subcontractors must comply with our code of conduct, The IKEA Way on Preventing Child Labour. Monitoring of the compliance to IKEA requirements is done by IKEA and with unannounced visits by third-party auditors.

4. Where does IKEA purchase its products from? IKEA has more than 1,300 suppliers in 53 countries. All products have the label 'Design & Quality. IKEA of Sweden' and the country of origin. IKEA purchases the majority of its products from Europe (64%), followed by Asia (33%) and North America (3%). back to top

5. How does IKEA approach social and environmental issues?

IKEA's low prices can never be achieved at the expense of people or the environment. That is a condition for doing good business. Our customers shall always feel that the products they buy are safe to use. IKEA products must be manufactured under acceptable working conditions by suppliers who take responsibility for the environment. We do not accept child labour. IKEA supports sustainable forestry and our long-term goal is to source all wood in the IKEA range from forests certified as responsibly managed. IKEA is working actively to reduce our impact on the climate.

6. What is IKEA's position when it comes to forestry? IKEA believes wood is an excellent material from both a functional as well as an environmental point of view. For wood to be a good environmental choice, it should originate from responsibly managed forests. IKEA's long-term goal is to source all wood in the IKEA range from forests certified as responsibly managed. We work actively with WWF and other partners to increase the availability of certified wood. Our suppliers must provide documentation to show where the wood comes from. IKEA conducts select audits, and IKEA's foresters trace the wood from the supplier back to the forest in order to check that IKEA requirements are met. For external verification of auditing routines, IKEA works with the third-party organisation Smartwood.
