In an interview at the Reuters IMPACT conference, Brodin said some cities were already fully electric for home deliveries, and many were working hard to build the infrastructure needed. He said there may be challenges in some places. In some regions, maybe there will be some challenges where we need to [push a bit harder](https://www.financedigest.com/solvency-ii-pushing-existing-systems-and-processes-harder-is-not-enough-for-compliance.html "Solvency II: pushing existing systems and processes harder is not enough for compliance") on that, but basically already by 2025, customers should be able to get electrical from IKEA when it comes to deliveries,” he said. The [move is part of the company’s](https://www.financedigest.com/exxon-sues-eu-in-move-to-block-new-windfall-tax-on-oil-companies.html "Exxon sues EU in move to block new windfall tax on oil companies") plan to be climate positive – to reduce more greenhouse gas than its entire value chain emits – by 2030. Brand owner Inter IKEA said in January it was on track to become climate [positive by 2030 as its annual carbon emissions fell 6% from pre-pandemic levels despite record sales](https://www.financedigest.com/uk-retailers-turn-positive-on-sales-hopes-after-bleak-winter.html "UK retailers turn positive on sales hopes after bleak winter"). Ingka Group, the owner of most IKEA stores worldwide, already produces more renewable energy than it consumes, having [invested around 3 billion euros](https://www.financedigest.com/stellantis-to-invest-130-million-euros-in-german-plant-for-new-opel-electric-car.html "Stellantis to invest 130 million euros in German plant for new Opel electric car") ($2.9 billion) in wind and solar projects since 2009. It plans to reach 6.5 [billion euros in investments by 2030 as part of efforts to increase the use of renewable energy](https://www.financedigest.com/petrofac-hitachi-energy-receive-14-billion-agreement-from-tennet.html "Petrofac, Hitachi Energy receive billion agreement from TenneT") across its supply chain. It owns 575 wind turbines, 20 solar parks, and 935,000 solar panels on the roofs of [IKEA stores](https://www.financedigest.com/ikea-stores-owner-ingka-says-campaigns-help-boost-store-visits-and-sales.html "IKEA stores owner Ingka says campaigns help boost store visits and sales") and warehouses. Brodin said companies, particularly in Europe, have had to become more agile as the [energy crisis](https://www.financedigest.com/europes-energy-crisis-and-the-nuclear-path-out.html "Europe’s energy crisis and the nuclear path out") has deepened, and that was likely to speed up society’s transition to cleaner energy, but he forecast the next two years would be “challenging” for households. To help with that, IKEA [plans to launch a campaign to raise awareness on how households can cut](https://www.financedigest.com/meta-plans-to-cut-thousands-of-jobs-as-soon-as-this-week-bloomberg-news.html "Meta plans to cut thousands of jobs as soon as this week – Bloomberg News") energy use – from LED lighting to solar heat pumps – and to sell low-cost energy-saving products.
