IKEA SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
IKEA Social Entrepreneurship is one of IKEA ’ s flagship projects . Here , IKEA invests in global partnerships with self-help groups and ( women ’ s ) cooperatives in structurally disadvantaged communities to help them gain a source of income and , where possible , to integrate them into the IKEA supply chain . To achieve this goal , IKEA has developed an impact model ( Theory of Change ) that includes not only targets for input ( resource use ) and output ( e . g . number of people reached ), but also clear outcome targets such as demonstrably improved incomes or access to jobs for marginalised groups . These targets and the status of their achievement are communicated annually in a separate report . In 2020 , more than 30,000 people were working in IKEA ’ s social entrepreneurship programmes , with a target figure of 95,000 by 2025 . This has so far provided 150,000 household members with access to an income . 31
