Built to last: Scaling retail to be smarter, leaner, and more sustainable

Javier Quiñones, CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA U.S., opens NRF Rev 2026 with a powerful perspective on the convergence of profit, sustainability, and circularity. In this forward-looking keynote, Javier will share practical strategies that balance business growth with environmental responsibility. Learn how IKEA is embedding circular principles into every stage – from designing repairable furniture to launching national Buy back & resell services. He will also discuss how IKEA partners with companies to reduce food waste from its locations, alongside efforts in renewable energy, such as on-site rooftop solar energy, reducing the company’s carbon footprint. Walk away with actionable insights that prove a more sustainable future isn’t just possible – it’s profitable.
