Inter IKEA Group today announces two new members of its Group Management Team, with Rob Kelly joining as Retail Concept Manager and Pontus Erntell joining as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), both effective 1 September 2026. Together, they will support the Group’s ambition to grow IKEA, reduce prices for customers, and reach more of the many people.
About 25 years ago, IKEA, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and the Sabah Foundation began restoring a degraded rainforest in Borneo through the Sow a Seed initiative. Since then, 18,500 hectares have been restored and protected. Building on evidence that rainforests can be regenerated, today IKEA and its partners launch the next phase, the Living Rainforest Restoration Lab, shifting the focus from on-site restoration to research and knowledge sharing to support global biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.
