Ikea
In 2002, WWF and Ikea began a 3-year global co-operation to jointly promote responsible forestry in priority regions around the world. The 5 years of technical co-operation has seen the two organizations worked together on a series of forest, cotton and climate projects in many countries.In Singapore in April 2007, Ikea took a stand of no longer offering free plastic bags in its stores. All the proceeds from the campaign will be donated to WWF and will be used to explore, support and develop alternative sustainable community livelihoods from forest products. Deforestation and the slash and burn clearing methods sometimes practiced are some of the very causes of the haze that on regular interval engulfs the region including Singapore. The project aims to create a successful sustainable alternative livelihood model that can be replicated, scaled up and distributed to as many communities as possible. By creating best practices examples the wider natural environment, its biodiversity and the primary service to the communities can be preserved.
