The war in Ukraine has already had a terrible impact on so many people’s lives. It is a human tragedy that is continuing to affect people and communities.
On 3 March, Inter IKEA Group and Ingka Group announced the pausing of IKEA operations in Russia and Belarus as a consequence of the war in Ukraine. Since then it has been a priority to provide support and security to co-workers, and the groups of companies have been able to guarantee 6 months’ salary for all co-workers, as well as core benefits.
Unfortunately the circumstances have not improved and the devastating war continues. Businesses and supply chains across the world have been heavily impacted and we do not see that it is possible to resume operations any time soon.
As a consequence, Inter IKEA Group and Ingka Group have now each decided to enter a new phase to further scale down the IKEA business in Russia and Belarus.
This process is currently underway and all actions and decisions taken will be guided by the IKEA values and to support our people to the best of our ability.
