Blue Bag Project


In line with our global sustainability approach, IKEA Indonesia offered the environmentally friendly Blue Bag to customers in place of plastic bags. Each purchase of a Blue Bag, in addition to a donation from IKEA, went towards Mercy Corps Indonesia’s local water and sanitation sewage project in Kecamatan Penjaringan, North Jakarta.

The IKEA Blue Bag Project, executed in partnership with Mercy Corps Indonesia, has been completed by building all 100 septic tanks in end of December 2015, or 6 months earlier than scheduled. The remaining six months, until June 2016, was used to supervise and continue to educate the beneficiaries on the maintenance of their septic tanks.

IKEA Batik Design Competition

Batik is the traditional Indonesian art craft and has long been regarded as a symbol of the country's rich heritage. In fact, the Indonesian government launched an initiative to promote October 2 as National Batik Day, which has grown into an adopted practice throughout both the public and private sectors for all employees to wear Batik every Friday. In respecting this tradition, IKEA Indonesia conducted a Batik shirt design competition among local universities to provide a Batik uniform for all co-workers to wear. Students from fashion, textile, and graphic design backgrounds were invited to create a simple uniform design, combining elements of both Indonesian and Swedish traditions. The winning design was locally printed and manufactured, and chosen to be the official Friday Batik shirt of IKEA Indonesia. The winner also received a one week trip to Sweden, including the opportunity to meet the IKEA of Sweden design team.
