More Than Half of Ikea's Energy Now Derived From Renewable Resources

Fifty-one percent of Ikea's energy is now derived from renewable resources, up from 47 percent in the prior fiscal year, according to the company's 2011 sustainability report. In the past fiscal year, Ikea installed solar panels on 40 buildings in seven countries and 60 wind turbines produced 152 gigawatt hours of "green" electricity this year, equivalent to around 12 percent of the electricity needed to run all Ikea stores and distribution centers.
