Keynote address: IKEA Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle. Ailen McCreadie, Live Lagom Programme Manager UK&IE, Health and Sustainable Living, IKEA Ltd.
Description
As part of our global People and Planet Positive ambition to inspire and enable 1 billion people to make a step to behave more sustainably by 2030 in the UK&IE we launched The Live LAGOM Programme 6 years ago which was designed to support our customers and co-workers to see that sustainability is easy, affordable and desirable. Reducing energy, waste and water and being kind to the planet and their pockets. Over 3 years of research, we found living sustainably and wellbeing are very much connected.
Biographies: “I have worked for IKEA for over 19 years in several roles from IKEA Food, HR Manager, Payroll Specialist and Marketing Manager. I became Live LAGOM Programme manager 5 years ago where I work with all the units across the UK&IE.
Previous to IKEA, I had my own business, where we owned 3 Public houses and managed 30 others within our holding company. From 33 pubs to 22 units of IKEA I have loved every step of my journey. Inspiring and being around people is where I thrive most”- AileenVisit: www.ikea.com/gb/en/this-is-ikea/sustainable-everyday
