meeting their sustainability goal.
However, over the years, I've
become impressed with our
efforts,” adds Skinner.
“The organization concentrates
on keeping things as sustainable
as possible from the ground up.
We focus on maximizing recycled
materials, not over-packaging
things. And even our food has a
sustainability plan, making sure
that when we have excess, it’s
going to the right place. We also
partner with Furniture Bank to
ensure returned mattresses are
redirected to those who need them
in our communities.”
Skinner concludes: “It’s clear to
our co-workers that IKEA is
committed to investing resources
into more sustainable ways of
doing things — both inside and
outside the blue box. I’m proud to
work for a company that genuinely cares about making a positive
impact on our local communities
and the planet.”
