IKEA and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) have formalized a collaboration agreement to strengthen their strategic alliance in sustainability and the circular economy, aiming to design and develop joint activities.

The agreement was signed by Diana Carrero, director of IKEA Valencia, and Javier Ribal, dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and Management (ADE) at UPV. This collaboration is integrated into an advisory body that already brings together over 25 organizations from various sectors, all committed to sustainability from a practical perspective.
IKEA's participation in this collaborative ecosystem is crucial, as it brings the vision of a global company actively working on transforming its business model towards a more circular and accessible approach for most people.

This agreement reinforces our commitment to society and to the development of professionals prepared to face current social and environmental challenges. We firmly believe in collaboration between business and university as a driving force for change."
