To guide that effort, IKEA created the IWAY code of conduct—minimum
requirements suppliers must meet in order to do business with the company.
According to IWAY’s environmental and forestry standards, suppliers must
agree to: work to reduce waste and emissions to air, ground and water;
handle chemicals in a safe way; dispose of hazardous materials in a safe
manner; contribute to the recycling and reuse of products; use wood from
known areas and, if possible, certified as responsibly managed.
