Ingka Group will further use this investment to upgrade the existing stores in the US, prepare them to deliver home furnishing expertise and boost their handling capacity to facilitate direct-from-store parcel deliveries.

The group will continue developing more effective ‘replenishment and fulfilment’ capabilities to improve last mile deliveries and ensure they are faster, affordable and more sustainable.

IKEA US CEO and chief sustainability officer Javier Quiñones said: “Our priority is to become more accessible while staying as affordable as possible for the many people, which is especially important given the increasing costs of living.”

Additionally, Ingka Group is seeking opportunities in circularity, energy and affordable clean housing across the US, marking a significant step towards its ‘climate positive by 2030’ goals.

This will be achieved by reducing waste, boosting solar and geothermal technology and transitioning to EV trucks for delivery or fulfilment.
