IKEA
believes that good working conditions and the protection of the outside
environment at our suppliers is a prerequisite for doing good business.
Our code of conduct , "The IKEA Way on Purchasing Home Furnishing
Products", (IWAY), was introduced in 2000.
The IKEA code of conduct sets out the requirements expected of suppliers
regarding social and working conditions, child labour and the outside
environment. The IKEA Group believes in long-term relationships with
suppliers who share our commitment to promote good practices, and who
want to grow and develop with IKEA. We expect them to respect
fundamental human rights, and to treat their workforces fairly and with
respect. They are also obligated to strive continuously towards
minimising the environmental impact of their operations.
IKEA does not accept child labour, and works actively against it. Our
ambition is to make sure no child labour is involved in the
manufacturing of IKEA products. This applies to all our suppliers and
their subcontractors worldwide.
