IKEA key values
We believe that every individual has something valuable to offer and we strive to have the same values in the way we work.
Lead by example
We see leadership as an action, not aposition. We look for people’s values before competence and experience. People who ‘walk the talk’ and lead by example. It is about being our best self and bringing out the best in each other.
Togetherness
Togetherness is at the heart of the IKEA culture. We are strong when we trust each other, pull in the same direction and have fun together.
Caring for people and planet
We want to be aforce for positive change. We have the possibility to make asignificant and lasting impact - today and for the generations to come.
Cost-consciousness
As many people as possible should be able to afford abeautiful and functional home. We constantly challenge ourselves and others to make more from less without compromising on quality.
Simplicity
A simple, straightforward and down-to-earth way of being is part of our Småland heritage. It is about being ourselves and staying close to reality. We are informal, pragmatic and see bureaucracy as our biggest enemy.

We are constantly looking for new and better ways forward. Whatever we are doing today, we can dobetter tomorrow. Finding solutions to almost impossible challenges is part of our success and asource of inspiration to move on to the next challenge.
