IKEA Holding US, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2019, IKEA Holding US, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 2,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 18,000,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from the use of sold products (5,200,000,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (12,500,000,000 kg CO2e). In 2020, the company reported a slight decrease in total emissions to about 17,400,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,500,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 17,400,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a continued focus on managing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which represent the majority of their total emissions. Despite these figures, IKEA has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards or frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, IKEA's emissions data highlights the significant environmental impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, and underscores the need for robust climate commitments to drive meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.
