An organized visit and introduction to the IKEA Serbia.
An organized visit and introduction to the IKEA were part of the new set of activities within the AmChamps10 program. This involved the traditional familiarization of participants with the operations of companies firsthand. This time, a visit and introduction were organized with this year’s AmCham ESG champion, IKEA.
The focus of the visit was on gaining a better understanding of the ESG concept, and participants had the opportunity to learn how IKEA applies it in its day-to-day operations. Mila Brankovic, People & Culture Manager, and Ljiljana Popovic, Recruitment & Sourcing Manager, presented a brief history and business values of the company. This was followed by a tour led by Stasa Stojkov Rosic, Sustainability Leader, and Igor Ivic, Store Facility Manager.
AmChamps participants had the opportunity to explore the sustainable business units of the IKEA company, including solar panels, the water processing and management department, as well as sectors for product repair, product reuse, and waste management.
