Ikea Loves Wood

In IKEA Loves Wood, the world’s largest furniture retailer faces a harsh examination of its timber sourcing practices. IKEA claims that all its wood is 100% sustainable, but the truth behind this claim is increasingly questioned. The company is the largest private forest owner in Romania, a country where illegal logging is rampant and corruption undermines forest protection. In this dangerous context, those who defend the forests often face deadly threats. Drone footage reveals evidence of clearcutting in IKEA's Romanian forests, a practice that has left local biodiversity vulnerable and violated laws meant to protect the land. As the documentary follows both environmental activists and IKEA representatives deep into Romania’s forests, it raises the crucial question: Are IKEA’s sustainability claims a genuine commitment to responsible forestry, or a deceptive narrative that hides the true environmental cost of cheap furniture?
