At IKEA, we believe that sustainability is an essential part of creating a better everyday life for the many people. We're now looking for a Sustainability Developer to join our Category Food Logistics and help drive our environmental commitments forward with purpose and expertise.

Our supply chain world

In Supply Chain Operations, we lead, plan and execute the journey of IKEA products from suppliers to retailers. Our team of 1,000 co-workers across 15 global locations manages planning, replenishment, transport and logistics sourcing, and goods flow management with precision and care.

• Leading the Yearly Environmental Survey process with thoroughness and strategic insight
