Case Study: The Environmental and Social Benefits of a Mattress: An IKEA and Furniture Bank Mattress Reuse Case Study

Challenge

To make corporations understand they should be paying for charity services rather than thinking a charity will accept a donation just because it’s a charity.

Solution

Case study on the positive environmental and social impact IKEA had by donating used mattresses to Furniture Bank and paying for Furniture Bank’s removal services.

Outcome

Strengthened the relationship with IKEA and got some of the Canadian Impact team at IKEA to share the post, helping raise awareness of running a social enterprise and the value of a circular economy.
