Interview with Martin Derungs, Fulfilment Sourcing Management at IKEA

What tipped the scales in favour of working with Swiss Post?

Swiss Post offers us the standard of service we’re looking for and guarantees us punctual, sustainable delivery of online orders weighing up to 30 kilograms. As a partner, it takes its social, environmental and economic responsibilities seriously – and therefore fulfils our requirements.

How important is sustainable delivery for IKEA?

Emission-free solutions are important if we are to continue to be successful as a company in the future. By 2025, we want to deliver all orders in Switzerland emission-free, and we want to become climate-positive by 2030. To achieve this, we need environmentally responsible partners.

What do IKEA and Swiss Post have in common?

We are pursuing the same goals: to convert our fleets to zero-emission vehicles and become carbon neutral. We want to provide the best service, and we invest in processes, systems and operational procedures that allow us to do that. We also both attach a great deal of importance to our codes of conduct and are committed to the environment and fair working conditions.
