Listen to our Purposing podcast, and learn how to build a purpose-driven business from Given, the consultancy that’s helped some of the world's largest organisations become purposeful.
‘Purposing’ is a podcast designed for CEOs and senior leaders who want to learn what purpose means in practice and the actions needed to deliver it within their own businesses.
Our goal is to give listeners practical and useful advice about running a successful purpose-driven business based on the experiences of people who have actually done it.
Episode #8 – How purpose catalyses growth at the world’s most successful furniture retailer, IKEA
In the last episode of the first season of the Purposing podcast, I speak to Simon Henzell-Thomas, Global Director Climate, Ingka Group (IKEA).
We discuss how purpose can catalyse positive change inside and outside a global organisation, the challenge of sustainable growth, and busting myths about the retail giant. Simon explains how IKEA is shifting to sustainable materials and business models at a scale that’s unimaginable for most companies and lifts the lid on the things that really make the difference – from circular and inclusive design approaches to investment management, governance and measurement.
