IKEA publishes comprehensive climate data and has achieved 28–30% absolute emissions cuts since 2016, tracking toward its 2030 target. But it remains the world's largest wood consumer, and multiple credible NGO investigations document ongoing deforestation in its supply chain and owned forests, contradicting its stated commitments. Nature and water targets are explicitly underdeveloped.
