After reducing our pre-consumer waste by nearly 50% over seven years, at IKEA we are now taking a next step toward recycling 100% of our operational waste by 2030 💛 Globally, one third of all food produced is wasted every year. But we're doing our bit to help turn the tide. Today, on the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we're celebrating our early achievements in reaching our food waste goals. We've recently announced partnering with Vanguard Renewables to transform food waste from our restaurants and Swedish Food Markets into renewable natural gas and fertilizer. It's a simple idea – collecting leftovers in dedicated containers, then processing them in anaerobic digesters instead of landfills. We're already piloting this in US stores across Wisconsin, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Illinois, with plans to expand nationwide. Join us on this journey as we turn yesterday's leftovers into tomorrow's energy. Find more information on the investment in Vanguard Renewables in comments.

“In 20 years of retail, one thing hasn’t changed — people remember how they felt, not what was on the slide.” Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on the floor, in boardrooms, and in breakout rooms – delivering sessions on: • Transforming ideas into business cases • Structuring presentations that influence decisions • Building customer relationships that last Across brands, industries, and team sizes, I noticed a pattern. The sessions that truly made an impact had nothing to do with what I taught… and everything to do with how people applied it in their real context. Here are my top 3 takeaways from these recent assignments: 1. Real > Perfect – A half-formed idea in action beats a flawless plan gathering dust. 2. Data Needs a Voice – Insights only influence when they’re wrapped in a compelling story. 3. Ownership Wins – The most powerful learning moments happen when participants own the outcome, not just attend the session. If you’ve ever delivered (or attended) a training that actually stuck, what made it work? Drop your thoughts — I’d love to compare notes.

In today’s challenging retail market, starting your own fashion brand can feel tougher than ever… but maybe it’s still possible to reach for the stars and build lasting success? 💫 Sometimes, even the most loyal consumers are challenged by global tariffs and inflation. Emerging fashion brands and wholesale retailers face a double obstacle: first finding the customers, then keeping them. So how do you launch a brand that’s impossible to ignore? According to FFORME CEO Joey Laurenti, it starts with building around a clear aesthetic and uncompromising quality: these two together create a foundation that everything else rests on. But driving sales goes beyond the product itself. It’s about creating a strong community and using the power of word-of-mouth. Like any business, success ultimately depends on delivering a great value and having the patience to see it through. Laurenti also emphasizes that tough times can teach valuable lessons. The fashion industry requires flexibility and discipline: these qualities help to build endurance both in you and in your brand. In short, the essentials for triumph include: ✔️ high product quality, ✔️ competitive pricing, ✔️ broad availability, ✔️ engaged fashion community, ✔️ nimbleness and willpower. What about you? What strategies have you found most effective for attracting and keeping customers? 🤔
