Sustainability-Focused Hiring Initiatives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

IKEA is Promoting Its Tech Jobs with 3D-Printed Food

— February 4, 2022 — Business
IKEA has announced that it is hiring for new jobs across its technology and innovation sectors, and that qualified applicants will be able to enjoy the brand's 3D-printed meatballs as part of the interview process. IKEA has outlined commitments to become more sustainable, including remodeling its IKEA restaurant food offerings. The 3D-printed meatballs are a large part of this commitment, as the restaurant intends to make half of its entire menu plant-based in the future.

Part of this interview strategy is the motivation to attract the right applicants. IKEA wants to hire forward-thinking individuals that are motivated towards innovation and technological advancement. With these new hires, the brand will make its services -- from its website and shipping processes to its furniture and packaging processes -- more sustainable and future-proof.
