IKEA Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2016, IKEA Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 39,992,548,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 209,484,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 621,932,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 39,161,131,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The data reflects the company's global operations and is cascaded from its parent company, Ingka Holding B.V., which oversees various sustainability initiatives. Despite the substantial emissions reported, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for IKEA Limited. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As a current subsidiary of Ingka Holding B.V., IKEA Limited may align its future strategies with the broader sustainability goals set by its parent company. Overall, while IKEA Limited has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of explicit reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate action framework.
