Our ambition is to make sure no child labour is involved in the manufacturing of IKEA products. This applies to all our suppliers and their subcontractors worldwide. http://www.ikea-group.ikea.com/corporate/responsible/conduct.html THE RIGHT TO PLAY The IKEA Group supports UNICEF in helping children recover from armed conflicts in Angola and Uganda. For every IKEA PS BRUM soft toy purchased, UNICEF receives �2 ($2.50 U.S.). By July 2004 we have raised �846,882 to UNICEF. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has the right to play time in a safe environment. Yet millions of children are deprived of this vital element of their development because of political conflicts, diseases and exploitation. In Angola, the IKEA contribution will reach some 80,000 children through a non-formal education effort whose focus is on learning by playing. In northern Uganda, civil conflicts have torn the people for almost two decades. The IKEA Group funds will support play-based programs for at-risk teenagers to strengthen awareness of HIV/AIDS. CHILD RIGHTS PROJECT IN INDIA TOGETHER WITH UNICEF In August 2000 IKEA and UNICEF initiated a joint child rights project in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The aim is to prevent and eliminate child labour in �the carpet belt�, by addressing the root causes, such as debt, poverty, the lack of access to education, disability and ill health. The project started with 200 villages with a population of more than 400,000 and is expanding with more villages in 2004. This means that a total of 500 villages with a population of about 1.3 million people will benefit from the project. http://www.ikea-group.ikea.com/corporate/responsible/projects.html Ahem ! Graham

They have a strict one party rule that still calls itsself communist but they are in name only. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
