IKEA has its roots in Småland, historically one of Sweden’s poorest regions, so hard work and economising with resources have always been part of our heritage. We’ve been making a lot out of very little for almost 70 years. Growing up in the Swedish 20th century has influenced our products as well as our value-system. The strong social development during this period, such as democratisation, dramatic improvements in living conditions and women’s rights including a child care system for all, stable labour relations and the introduction of an informal communication style, have shaped IKEA and our way of interacting with customers, co-workers and others. The IKEA Group has a total of 280 stores in 26 countries and together with co-workers, customers and suppliers, we grow, learn and develop so that we can continue to contribute a better everyday life for the many. Today, approximately 40 percent of our 200 top managers are women and we are continuously improving the gender balance.

We are proud to support the WIN conference. We are looking forward to sharing our experiences and we see this as an excellent opportunity to further empower the development of women in our organisation.
