Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is a key to success, diversity comes in all shapes and sizes.
Being ourselves, and contributing with our uniqueness, makes us all grow.
At Ingka Group, we welcome all dimensions of diversity. A diverse and inclusive workplace is good for our co-workers, for our customers and our business.
Inclusion
Caring for People and Diversity & Inclusion are embedded in our values and in our vision. We believe in creating a work environment where all co-workers feel welcomed, respected, supported and appreciated, no matter who they are or where they come from.
At IKEA, this means building collaborative ways of working and practicing inclusive behaviours every day. It is about making the most of our differences.
An inclusive workplace is a better workplace
As a co-worker we don’t want you just getting through the day, we want you to thrive, and this is only possible if you feel safe and can truly be yourself. And once we’ve brought you on board, we want you to stick around, because we’re planning on doing great things together.
Building a gender equal business
At IKEA we believe that everyone has the right to be treated fairly and given equal opportunities, no matter what their gender is. We’re committed to reaching true gender equality. That means ensuring equal opportunities for both women and men, and reaching 50/50 gender balance in all countries, levels and positions, including boards and committees. We believe that greater gender balance benefits everyone. With our 50/50 commitment, we focus on having more women in predominantly male roles, as well as more men in predominantly female roles. Whatever the role or position, everyone at IKEA should expect to be paid equally for work of equal value. We’re members of the Equal Pay International Coalition (EPIC) and have pledged to secure gender equal pay throughout IKEA. Building a gender equal business means creating an inclusive culture where both women and men are valued for their unique contributions and are able to impact the culture of the organisation. Because when people have the same opportunities to grow everyone wins.
Equality for all in our everyday life
We recognise that equality lies at the heart of human rights. That’s why we are working to create inclusive environments in all kinds of communities. IKEA calls for equality, so that everybody can live where they are free to be themselves.
Video message—Working towards equality for all in our everyday life

Achieving a gender balance 50/50 in Management Positions
IKEA is working to establish a diverse, inclusive working environment. We aim to achieve a 50/50 gender balance by granting equality of opportunity to both men and women in all countries, at all levels, and in any position (including the board of directors and committees). We believe that achieving an equal gender balance will benefit everyone. In Oct 2022, the proportion of female managers at IKEA Taiwan reached 56%.
