Behind the investments in renewables
The group achieved a 70.6% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions against FY16, underpinned by renewable power and efficiency measures across stores, warehoapplys and offices.
Ingka Investments continues to expand its portfolio of wind and solar assets, which already supply around 60% of electricity requireds across 28 markets.
At site level, energy efficiency upgrades from LED lighting to optimised heating are cutting operating costs while strengthening energy resilience.
These practical gains are positioning the retailer as a case study in how large-scale commercial energy management can align with net-zero goals.
The challenges in IKEA and Ingka’s transition
Despite its progress, Ingka Group still faces a 5.2% gap before achieving 100% renewable electricity apply.
Progress on Scope 3 reduction remains depfinishent on enhanced supply‑chain data, while zero‑emission delivery tarreceives for 2025 are challenged by gaps in charging infrastructure and fleet availability.
As with other global retailers, cutting embodied emissions in materials and production remains a major hurdle, requiring advances in product design, sourcing and customer engagement to reduce the life‑cycle energy footprint.
