Sustainability is no longer a buzzword, it's a requirement. With the pressing concerns of climate change and environmental degradation, companies must prioritize sustainability and green business practices. Companies such as IKEA have set the standard for sustainable business practices. IKEA's ambitious goal to produce as much renewable energy as it consumes by 2020 was not only met, but exceeded in 2016. The company now boasts over 900,000 solar panels on its buildings and produces more renewable energy than it consumes, significantly reducing its carbon footprint and demonstrating the tangible benefits of sustainable initiatives.
