We work with and support social entrepreneurs to create a better everyday life for people from vulnerable and marginalised groups.

The need for renewed efforts to address poverty, create jobs, reduce inequality, and foster inclusive societies has never been greater. Increasingly frequent global crises continue to impact vulnerable communities the hardest, limiting governments’ ability to invest in social development. While the government’s role is essential, social enterprises are stepping up to fill the gaps. Today, there are an estimated 10 million social enterprises globally, generating $2 trillion in revenue and providing nearly 200 million jobs.

So, we continue the work started a decade ago, expanding our support for social entrepreneurs and deepening our social business partnerships to create positive social impact both inside and outside the IKEA value chain.

Over FY24, we supported 104 social enterprises across 21 countries and partnered with 11 social businesses in IKEA production across home furnishing and food products, creating global social business products and our annual social business collection, MÄVINN.

We’re excited to share our 6th Annual Review, where you can read more about our methods, initiatives and impact — for social entrepreneurs, IKEA customers, co-workers, and our global community.
