How sustainable is IKEA?

Every second a tree is cut down to become an affordable IKEA product. The Swedish mega-company claims it's sustainable, but is that really the case? Investigative journalist, Tom Heinemann, visits IKEA's forests in Romania's Carpathian Mountains to discover how their production line is impacting the safety of the forest, wildlife and local biodiversity.Guest: Tom Heinemann, Investigative journalist and Director of 'Ikea Loves Wood'Producer: Catherine ZengererIn a statement to Tom Heinemann Ikea said: "We have a comprehensive wood control system in place to make sure the wood we use is responsibly sourced. We do not accept wood that fails to meet our strict requirements, such as wood from illegal harvests, non-commercial high conservation value forests, areas with social conflicts, or genetically modified tree plantations. If we discover irregularities, we take immediate action." Find out more information about Ikea's wood use here: https://www.ikea.com/global/en/our-business/sustainability/wood-we-use/
