IKEA s’est fixé pour objectif que d’ici à 2020, 100 % du bois IKEA serait issu de sources plus durables, c’est-à-dire certifié FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) ou recyclé. 
Cet objectif est déjà atteint sur les zones prioritaires que sont la Russie, la Chine, l’Europe du Sud-Est et l’Asie du Sud-Est. Au niveau mondial, IKEA progresse de 10 % par an sur cet indicateur. Nous avons ainsi atteint 61 % de bois certifié FSC ou recyclé en 2016.
