Built to last
Safeguarding independence. Sustaining impact.
INGKA Foundation is the 100% owner of Ingka Group, which brings the IKEA brand to millions of homes around the world.
Our story is one of enduring purpose.
For decades, INGKA Foundation has safeguarded the independence and long-term stability of Ingka Group, ensuring that IKEA’s founding vision – to create a better everyday life for the many people – thrives for generations to come.
“When I decided to give the company to a foundation back in 1982, I did it because I wanted to ensure that IKEA will continue as an independent company long after I am not there to look after the business. I also wanted to ensure that we use some of our profits to help create a better life for the many people in need.”
