IWAY Forest Materials Specification
This document outlines IKEA's IWAY Standard Specification for Forest Materials, detailing the requirements for responsible procurement of wood, paper, pulp, bamboo, rattan, and cork. It ensures that all forest-based materials used in IKEA products and packaging adhere to strict sustainability and legal standards.
The specification serves as a guide for suppliers and sub-contractors, emphasizing transparency throughout the supply chain and compliance with global regulations, including the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). It details procedures for mapping, risk assessment, and mitigation to guarantee deforestation-free and responsibly managed forest materials.
Key Objectives:
- Ensuring forest materials are sourced responsibly and legally.
- Promoting sustainable forestry management practices.
- Providing clear guidelines for supply chain traceability and documentation.
- Meeting regulatory requirements such as the EUDR.
IKEA is dedicated to driving positive change in the forest products industry, working collaboratively with its supply chain partners to uphold these critical standards.
