As of February 27th, 2025, IKEA has launched a new vision for digital accessibility. This initiative includes collaborating with other businesses and partners to develop and promote digitally accessible formats, ideas, and websites.
IKEA has also formed partnerships with universities and educational institutions to diversify and communicate their digital accessibility goals more effectively. Some of the technologies developed through these partnerships include:
– Sign language interpretation devices and services
– Assistive technology for local libraries
– Tools to assist customers with low vision in IKEA stores
These innovations aim to make IKEA’s website more user-friendly and accessible for all users, enabling them to easily find and organize resources.
To ensure their business model and procedures remain relevant and current, IKEA has launched the Digital Inclusive Design, Equity, and Accessibility of Expertise guidelines. These guidelines prioritize respect and effectiveness for people with disabilities and neurodiversity.
IKEA has implemented automated checks to ensure continuous accessibility across their business. The company is committed to educating and empowering people with disabilities and neurodiversity, leveraging their insights and ideas to drive digital access and inclusion.
IKEA is further expanding its proposals for digitally accessible services by engaging with advocacy groups and industry leaders worldwide, aiming to grow its inclusive footprint in business ideals.
