Measure
Description of the measure
Temperature reductions in all stores, offices, and warehouses by 1 to 2 degrees. Further reductions are possible once enough warm clothing is available for staff.
All non-security lighting such as store entrances and exits, advertising hoardings and IKEA logos will be switched off 30 mins after closing time until opening time.
No Christmas lights on IKEA buildings.
Moderation of server room cooling.
Description of the intended effect
These initial measures are expected to save around 5% of IKEA’s energy requirements in Switzerland. In addition, IKEA AG has set up an internal task force that will continuously evaluate further developments and coordinate further measures at a national level.
