We are on a journey to build a better IKEA, driven by our vision to create a better everyday life for the many people. We at Ingka Group set targets, evaluate our performance and report according to our ambition to be better in four key ways: Better homes, Better lives, Better planet and Better company.
We are very proud of our holistic performance this year. These are challenging times, but we have made up our minds to be optimistic about the future and we will lead from the opportunities. Hear more from Jesper Brodin, President and CEO, Ingka Group, and Juvencio Maeztu, Deputy CEO and CFO, Ingka Group.
Put simply, material topics are those which are most significant and relevant for our business and our stakeholders. We mapped the identified material topics against our value creation goals and our four key movements: Better homes, Better lives, Better planet and Better company.
In our assessment, we consider two questions - could our business impact people or the planet in relation to the topic? Could the topic impact on the financial performance of our business? If the answer is yes to either question, we know it’s a material topic.
Passion for a better life at home is what makes us IKEA. For generations, we have been on a mission to understand the needs, challenges and aspirations of the many, bringing inspiring and affordable home furnishings to people with big dreams regardless of wallet size.
